Count parameter on list endpoint returning unauthorized

[walterjonesis]

I’m using the latest scribejava library to connect and hit a couple of endpoints such as https://api.twitter.com/1.1/friends/list.json. It works with the parameters screen_name(or user_id) and next_cursor to get multiple pages. If I add a count parameter to get more than the default 20 results, I get back an unauthorized response. I believe the library is sending the parameters in the correct order (below). Has anyone seen this? Does the count parameter work, and does it require an additional paramter or something else?

count%3D100%26
oauth_consumer_key%3Dkey%26
oauth_nonce%3Dnonce%26
oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26
oauth_timestamp%3D1533307147%26
oauth_token%3Dtoken%26
oauth_version%3D1.0%26
screen_name%3Dusername

I’m not too familiar with this library unfortunately. That behavior does sounds strange though. If you don’t get a response back from the community, I recommend that you reach out to the owner of that library.

Thanks - I don’t think it is something wrong with the library. It seems to be making the call correctly, and it works for the parameters other than count. Does the count parameter work on the friends and followers list endpoints? Does it require another parameter, or a different order than I am doing?

I’ve just tried this using twurl and it seems to work for me with the count parameter. I’m also not familiar with scribejava. Have you tried in any other environment?

Thanks for the response. I tried with an older oauth library as well that didn’t work, but that wasn’t ordering the parameters alphabetically. The parameters seem correct now, but maybe it is a signature generation issue with the count parameter. I’m not sure what else it would be if the other parameters work. It is listed as one that should work with Twitter - https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/developer-utilities/twitter-libraries.html. I’ll try it with twurl and twitter4j to see the difference.
