I am doing a small application on ASP . NET with Twitter API. One of my tasks is to get my friend list. The way I am doing this is I send a request from a Javscript file inside a Web Application to a controller in another project that is a Web API. Then, from the Web API, I send the GET request to Twitter API. Now, I have already done this with my Twitter Feed and Favorite tweets,and it worked perfectly, however, I cannot achieve this with my friends list…I am using literally the same code and getting error 500.
This is the code inside the javascript:
function getMyFriends() {
$.getJSON("myLocalHostLink/api/Twitter/GetFriends?accessToken=" +
sessionStorage.getItem("twitterToken") + "&accessTokenSecret=" +
sessionStorage.getItem("twitterSecretToken"))
.done(function (data) {
$.each(data, function (key, item) {
console.log(item)
});
});
}
This is the code inside my controller:
[System.Web.Http.Route("api/Twitter/GetFriends")]
public IEnumerable<ITweet> GetFriends2(string accessToken, string accessTokenSecret)
{
var userCredentials = Auth.SetUserCredentials("myKey",
"mySecretKey", accessToken,
accessTokenSecret);
var authenticatedUser = Tweetinvi.User.GetAuthenticatedUser(userCredentials);
var homeTimeline = authenticatedUser.GetFriends(2);
var json = Tweetinvi.JsonSerializer.ToJson(homeTimeline);
var tweetDTOs = Tweetinvi.JsonSerializer.ConvertJsonTo<ITweetDTO[]>(json);
var tweets = Tweet.GenerateTweetsFromDTO(tweetDTOs);
return tweets;
}
Thanks
If the javascript is on the client, it’s not secure to send Access tokens and secret as url parameters to your API - those should be handled server side, treating them as you would a password Authentication best practices | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform
What’s the exact error code returned by twitter? Documentation Home | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform not the http error 500, is there a code sent back? If it keeps happening, try to reduce the size of the call - eg, if count=5000 make it count=2500 for friends/ids or something like that.
This is the example for getting friends Get All Friends Code · linvi/tweetinvi Wiki · GitHub but i don’t know C# well enough to see what’s wrong with your example.
