Bad authentication data while retrieving followers list using GET followers/ids of REST API v1.1

Subhojit_Sen · 2013-06-13T11:31:10.000Z

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/list.json?cursor=-1&screen_name=Subhojit_Sen&skip_status=true&include_user_entities=false

This returns {“errors”:[{“message”:“Bad Authentication data”,“code”:215}]}

The code I am using gets the user to authorize the app and it returns the screen name too ! But it shows the error code “215” while retrieving the followers list.

Tried so many solutions but cant catch the loop-hole where the problem is lying actualyy !

Can anyone help me out in solving this !

Thanks in Advance !

Subhojit !

Maybe you’re having an issue with sorting parameers in OAuth signature base string? Here’s what the signature base string should look like for a request like this:


GET&https%3A%2F%2Fapi.twitter.com%2F1.1%2Ffollowers%2Flist.json&cursor%3D-1%26include_user_entities%3Dfalse%26oauth_consumer_key%3D5aA6oofBOFAwN4tfmEYWjg%26oauth_nonce%3DqGX0Hv4K2nhY4vYIbne6SEVtWJlJ8PKThBKxKaJxkoI%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1371134854%26oauth_token%3D119476949-oYGCs2M5duG5QalbOAK2YUZh8zG3ur7DPYo5qIFN%26oauth_version%3D1.0%26screen_name%3DSubhojit_Sen%26skip_status%3Dtrue

Thank you for that guideline !

But when I tried to execute the base string I get by [ htmlspecialchars_decode & decodeURIComponent] it returns null value !

Also I understood the cURL command will actually execute the request

I am trying to build a code to translate the curl command to a php one !

like this ->

Translate cURL command line into PHP cURL

php, curl
