For me this problem was resolved when I unchecked the box that says
"Allow this application to be used to Sign in with Twitter".

Using Omniauth-twitter gem, Rails 3.2.1.4.

This works for me. One app works without filling this field, and another app does not. I can’t believe this kind of bugs in Twitter…

[ThoughtsByBen]

This worked for me too! Thanks for this hint, I can finally stop banging my head!

Oh, and I am also using Omniauth-twitter gem

[SivaBalan2610]

can someone provide the complete solution for this issue?

As part of the process(https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/implementing-sign-twitter ) provided by twitter to obtain final auth_token , i’m able to get the response for step 1 & 2.

But when i try to get the final auth_token by making the request using the below URL, i’m still geting 401 error.

string loginURL ="https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token?oauth_consumer_key="+TwitterAPI.Consumerkey +"&oauth_nonce="+nonce+"&oauth_signature="+sign+"&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp="+timeStamp+ "&oauth_token="+TwitterAPI.AuthToken+"&oauth_verifier="+TwitterAPI.AuthTokenVerifier+"&oauth_version=1.0";

what’s is wrong in this URL?

it’ll be of great help, if some one provide the solution for this issue.

Hi, Just to take care about the time sync on your computer, plus minus 5 min you’ll be too late:
401 Autorization Failed on Twitter oAuth #

$oauth_timestamp = [System.Convert]::ToInt64($ts.TotalSeconds + 305).ToString();

This helped us a lot. Thank you!

[syairahusna]

Great suggestion! I had similar error 401 problem and this suggestion helped me solve it. Thanks a lot LeTigerTom!

[m_ozsarioglu]

The first step: Reader App Permissions settings, write, and direct messages save change.
The second step: Regenerate Key and Consumer Secret and Regenerate My Access Token and Token Secret and save.

I hope that helps.

Still works in 2015. Thanks a lot.

Same problem, I am developing in Google-Apps-Script.

If it is the ‘time’ issue, can somebody post a scriplet how to fix that in Google Script? I tried setting the time of the running spreadsheet (environment) to UTC. Did not help. This issue took me already about 30 hours on research and experiments…

I posted a related issue at Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31285593/google-apps-script-oauth2-usage-of-same-twitter-api-by-multiple-scripts

Feel free to drop me a contact email: iwanjka@gmail.com, I’d like to get in contact with developers working in this ‘niche’!
