DM with media

RajiitGct · 2017-04-27T13:38:49.317Z

API : https://dev.twitter.com/rest/direct-messages/attaching-media

Here we have event json like

{
“event”: {
“type”: “message_create”,
“message_create”: {
“target”: {
“recipient_id”: “844385345234”
},
“message_data”: {
“text”: “Hello World!”,
“attachment”: {
“type”: “media”,
“media”: {
“id”: “12123234234”
}
}
}
}
}
}

With which param name we should generate authorization request header for this json? Any idea? Or no need to include this json to generate authorization header for this endpoint?

FYI : We are writing this json into post body in request.

Hi @RajiitGct,

Assuming your are trying to generate the oauth_signature. I personally use OAuth libs to handle this, but from my knowledge JOSN POST body is not included when generating the oauth_signature for the OAuth1.0a spec. If the POST body included url-encoded query strings (or form-encoded data), those parameters would be included.

Taking a look at python’s oauthlib extract_params, you will see that it will not return params for a JSON string.

github.com

idan/oauthlib/blob/master/oauthlib/common.py#L164


query = query.encode(
    'utf-8') if not PY3 and isinstance(query, unicode_type) else query
# We want to allow queries such as "c2" whereas urlparse.parse_qsl
# with the strict_parsing flag will not.
params = urlparse.parse_qsl(query, keep_blank_values=True)


# unicode all the things
return decode_params_utf8(params)




def extract_params(raw):
"""Extract parameters and return them as a list of 2-tuples.


Will successfully extract parameters from urlencoded query strings,
dicts, or lists of 2-tuples. Empty strings/dicts/lists will return an
empty list of parameters. Any other input will result in a return
value of None.
"""
if isinstance(raw, bytes_type) or isinstance(raw, unicode_type):
    try:
        params = urldecode(raw)

You also need to ensure you set a content-type: application/json in your request or it will fail. That is part of your oauth signing request too

Ya, Its correct. Then I tried without including this post body in auth signature. Eventhough I faced “Bad authentication error with code 125”

Sorry, in somewhere in my code, missed out authheader in connect setRequestProperty.Thats the problem.
