Could not authenticate with OAuth

musicplusapp · 2011-08-23T01:04:30.000Z

I am getting the same error as well when posting update, but I can successfully retrieve the user timeline.
I confirm that the access token and secret are exactly the same as displayed in My applications page.

I got it working already. My mistake was setting the HTTP method to POST after setting all the parameters. Setting the HTTP method should be done before that.

<Note: I am using OAuthConsumer library for iOS>

I have found out what caused my problem. The reason was hidden in incorrect calculation of oauth_signature in Twitterizer library in case of 140characters message, when it contains specific unicode character.
My question and answer on stackoverflow:

Twitterizer: "Could not authenticate with OAuth"

Solved it, I’ve been generating incorrect “secret” when calculating signature

I follow “http://www.sitepoint.com/oauth-for-php-twitter-apps-part-1/” for PHP Twitter Apps by OAuth

Here in “test.php” at the last line i.e, “$oauth->post(‘statuses/update’, array(‘status’ => “hello world”));” didn’t work.
Actually in test.php upto “echo “Connected as @” . $credentials->screen_name;” line work very good but last line (i.e, post) not working.
After completing full process i can’t see any tweet in twitter a/c.
I check full process and try it many times carefully. But all time i failed.
Please Help me quickly to solve me my problem.

As far as I see, still there is no solution.
It would be highly appreciated if you somehow solve that!

I have the same problem with me is that sometimes works and sometimes not, use this code in the api, append the code I use:

$oauth_token=$twitter_conect_cli->oauth_token;
$oauth_token_secret=$twitter_conect_cli->oauth_token_secret;

if(strlen($oauth_token)>0 || strlen($oauth_token_secret)>0 )
{
$Twitter = new EpiTwitter($consumerKey, $consumerSecret);
$Twitter->setToken($oauth_token,$oauth_token_secret);
//$message Status update
$status=$Twitter->post_statusesUpdate(array(‘status’ => $mensaje));
$resultado=$status->response;

I am having this same problem. I am authenticated. I’ve tried clearing all tokens and re-authenticating and I get the same error. I’m able to do account/verify_credentials just fine, and I have the 350/hr rate limit I just can’t seem to POST anything. GET works just fine. The application has the correct permissions (RW/DM). I’m not sure what to do here.

jayssface · 2011-11-09T15:15:38.000Z

My issue was with my proxy. It was always using the GET method - had to change that to be dynamic.

willFirmiano · 2011-11-15T15:20:18.000Z

Any solution?

nextjoke · 2011-11-15T17:03:00.000Z

UPDATE I tried to post the same message with new version of Twitterizer (2.3.3) and no error occured. Problem disappeared.

I had the same problem when trying to tweet German so-called “umlauts” (ä,ö,ü) and solved it by encoding the to be twittered message with utf8_encode. Twitter obviously expects UTF8-encoded messages.

WayneSultan · 2011-12-07T08:41:35.000Z

I faced a similar issue this week, Got every step succeeded. But the posting always failed with the couldnot authorization.
I used the C# httpClient class to communicate with the twitter server.

The thing which did the trick for me is the content-type http header.
by default the httpClient class is setting the content-type to text/plain, when i just changed this to application/x-www-form-urlencoded,
