Hi I am attempting to generate a request token by POSTing to https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token, but I cannot seem to get any response
other than an http 401 error
My Authorization: header looks like this:
Authorization : OAuth oauth_callback=“https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback",oauth_consumer_key=“XXX”,oauth_nonce=“XXX”,oauth_signature=“XXX”,oauth_signature_method=“HMAC-SHA1”,oauth_timestamp=“XX”,oauth_version="1.0”
Anybody have any idea how to get this to work?
Hi @Ravivarma, I deleted your other two duplicate threads.
What language are you using? Is your computer’s clock accurate? (OAuth has a time component)
yes Clock is Accurate and iam getting status as 401 and error
“code”: 32,
“message”: “Could not authenticate you.”
can you please help me to generate oauth_token
These are my values, which iam passing in Header
Authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key=“xxxxxx”, oauth_nonce=“e99383e40bc62c4afd5527e90f051136”, oauth_signature=“9gK924SlSb0k9%2BsLVB2ZNHSaz%2BI%3D”, oauth_signature_method=“HMAC-SHA1”, oauth_timestamp=“1472572224”, oauth_version=“1.0”
What language are you coding in - is there a particular reason for not using one of the existing third party libraries that simplify this process for you?
iam direcly using the values from dev account by using TestOauth and trying to generate oauth_token through postman
iam new to this, iam learning about how to get Oauth_token ,iam direcly using the values from dev account by using TestOauth and trying to generate oauth_token through postman
OAuth can be quite tricky, and I don’t generally use Postman although I know some other folks on my team do so. I’d recommend tracing through the steps in the OAuth documentation and checking all of your request headers etc.
Yes thanq, i fallowed all the requried steps, To get access token we have to generate oauth_token i fallowed all the steps and created Signature base string
and signing key but iam getting same error code 32, could not authenticate you.
iam passing redirect url also as header
Can any one help me in Generating Oauth_token and Oauth_secret iam getting status 401 and error message as
{
“errors”: [
{
“code”: 32,
“message”: “Could not authenticate you.”
}
]
}
can any one help me to resolve this error?
I strongly suspect you’re not signing the request correctly.
One thing you could try is running your request through twurl using the -t option to check how the headers and signature are generated there.
Iam following the proccess Implementing Sign in with Twitter Log in with Twitter | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform and Creating a signature | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform and i created Signature base string and signing key and ihave checked in OAuth signature checker and its showing everything is currect but iam still getting 401 and “message”: “Could not authenticate you.”
