Thanks for the tip. This indeed resolved our issue.

Make sure you call encodeURIComponent() or similar to encode your query parameters if passing via GET.

i used
$url = ‘https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/list.json’;
$getfield = ‘?cursor=cursor&screen_name=twitteraccount&skip_status=true&include_user_entities=false’;
to get the twitter followers list.In some servers it is working perfectly

But in some servers,I got this issue
Error 32: Could not authenticate you.

Please help me to rectify this issue.

What have you tried so far? I’d compare system clocks, library versions, SSL setup, networking setup, configuration…

[johnoneill23]

I solved my problem by paying very close attention to the way I was sending my POST data.

My authorization header was correct, but I was not encoding the values that were sent as POST data, nor was I appending the keys + values into one huge string (for PHP, this string is what is sent as CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, before the curl is executed.)

[girish_us]

Can some one help me what I am doing wrong? Authorization works with screen name but when I add count is not working or any other paramenter not working.{“message”:“Could not authenticate you”,“code”:32}]}

                var postBody =Uri.EscapeDataString( "count%3D" + 5 + "%26screen_name%3D" + screenName1); // not working
                //var postBody = "screen_name=" + Uri.EscapeDataString(screenName1);  // Works 
                resource_url += "?" + postBody;

                ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;

                HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(resource_url);
                request.Headers.Add("Authorization", authHeader);
                request.Method = "GET";
                request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
               
                try
                {

                    WebResponse timeLineResponse = request.GetResponse();

After an entire days work around that problem my solution is that
this error comes whenever there is ANY mistake in (your) request, which is why this is so difficult to find out.
So do a checklist:

• were you using the right url ( the api requests look very similar)
• did you not mistake GET or POST ?
• did you copy getfield variables or links from the twitter API (which contains unallowed whitespaces)
• did you use the right keys ?
• if all failed, recreate your keys

hope this helps - good luck

[renanvaz]

If you are using the TwitterAPIExchange, you must call the “setGetfield” method before of “buildOauth”.

Thanks for this - can’t believe I missed something so obvious.

I’ve solved the problem by changing the query. The only thing that I don’t understand is why it won’t return tweets if I do string concatenation. My Code:

It works:

$url = “https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json”;
$getfield = ‘?q=%23milano’;
$requestMethod = “GET”;

Not works:

$url = “https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json”;
$getfield = ‘?q=%23’+‘milano’;
$requestMethod = “GET”;

Not works:

$place=‘milano’
$url = “https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json”;
$getfield = ‘?q=%23’+$place;
$requestMethod = “GET”;

Andrea, I believe this is PHP code. In this case, string concatenation works with a “.” and not a “+”, so that should be as simple as that!

[schcriher]

I had the same problem and solve it by setting the status (text) to querystring (get data), as you mention. Thanks for the tip!

[jituspider]

i have same issue

NSURL * requestAPIForNames =[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@“https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/lookup.json?user_id=%@”,result]];

here in result i will pass the list of user id’s.
when i used this API. i will get this message.

[vikasdiyer]

Yes this worked!

If you have the following characters in Url : ( ) [ +, e.t.c that were not encoded like %29, %20, etc.
U will have error like this, because twitter can not parse those characters
{“errors”:[{“message”:“Could not authenticate you”,“code”:32}]}

And if you are using version .Net 4.5 you will have the same error even if you url encode, and call WebRequest.Create(string url).
Uri class decode your string and u will have same error, if u use double encode, twitter return the result but not that you expect

[StanislavTest]

The problem is relevant?
Which framework are using ?

[GeneraWeb]

Yeah!!! It worked as an url parameter!!!

[hanspeter__]

Hi, thank you for your solution. It absolutely did the trick. My ‘mistake’ was that my request looked like ‘…json?q=dog;count=4’. Changing the ‘;’ to ‘&’ turned out to be the solution to this particular problem. Hope it helps anybody.
