Bad Authentication data with api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json

[PixxApp]

I currently have a Javascript client in the making that obscures the consumer secret by doing all the signing logic in a server-side PHP script, or in case of POSTs do the request via the server entirely.

This makes it more secure than for instance many Android apps, who have their consumer secrets as a plain static member or even as a string resource in xml.

Still I’m having difficulty getting the right combination of URL encoding going on.
URLs that work on the Android app don’t work in Javascript (I’m using jQuery).

Other endpoints do work for me, so it probably has to do with the encoding of the query.
Java and Javascript URL encoding differ a bit. Are you aware of anything with this that could cause this?

Thanks in advance.

Javascript’s default URL encoding methods aren’t always sufficient for OAuth 1.0A. This article has some hints on these: http://www.marcworrell.com/article-2943-en.html – if you have some particular strings you’d like to work through, I’m happy to.

Hi, I’m having the same problem. Both on server side and from the browser. I’m encoding the parameters using twitter4J OAuthAuthorization.encodeParameters. When I copied the url and paste it to the browser it gave me the same error code.

My url was
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?count=10&lang=en&q=xfactor&
oauth_token=210XXXX54-CXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXc&
oauth_consumer_key=KXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXg&
oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&
oauth_timestamp=1372131361&
oauth_nonce=1008433096&
oauth_version=1.0&
oauth_signature=IYlDEv0tlrmqy8QudjKdreB%2FPjk%3D

ditto, wasted several hours at a hackathon, the error messages are also pretty useless.

{
errors: [
{
message: “Could not authenticate you”,
code: 32
}
]
}

pasted in the keys you gave me and still get this…

I am trying to understand what’s going on for last 12 hours but documentation definitely doesn’t help. Please, Do any one knows how to get search api working? I’ve spend a lot of hours to make an oAuth process work. So what and where should I do after to finally get results from search api? It is so frustrated=(

[wissamApp]

Spent already 2 days trying to work my way around with the new API. Total confusion! Usually new APIs either make stuff easier or clean up some messed up stuff. Feels the opposite is happening with the 1.1.
Anybody with cool tweak to this plz let me know!

[premkumarcgvak]

pls help me… i have a same issue

[andypiper]

what language? how are you handling Oauth? can you provide a sample?

[andypiper]

no - what issue are you having with it?

[andypiper]

It usually means you are not correctly using OAuth. What language / library are you using? Do you have a sample?
