Help with twitter4j: getting 401:Authentication credentials even though ive set them already?

yao_jiang · 2011-07-13T18:08:44.000Z

[Wed Jul 13 13:53:47 EDT 2011]{“error”:“Read-only application cannot POST”,“request”:"/1/statuses/update.json"}

do you think this has something to do with my application?

my oauth setting says “Read and write”

my access token access level says “Read only”

If you’ve gotten to this point, that’s great

You must have negotiated your access token while your app was only configured for read-only access. To re-negotiate your token, first revoke it at http://twitter.com/settings/applications then wait 5 minutes to be sure our caches clear. Then obtain your access token again – it should then be renegotiated at the right access level (and the strings for access token and access token secret will change).

i see. will try. thanks!

hopefully it works.

yao_jiang · 2011-07-13T19:07:12.000Z

holy crap thats it!!!

thank you!!! thank you so much for been patient with me and answering my every question

now one last question cause i dont want to spam the forum:
does tweet accept html tags?

what i will be tweeting is more than likely stock prices
and i want to put a symbol with a price and attach a link to that symbol, meaning if a follower clicks on the symbol, lets say YHOO, a new window opens to the URL i specified

episod · 2011-07-14T13:51:56.000Z

Tweets don’t support HTML – it’s common to just use stock tickers with a microformat of $YHOO for example. You can otherwise include a link at the end of the tweet.

yao_jiang · 2011-07-14T19:10:07.000Z

are there any sort of styling allowed?

maybe creating a table or linebreaks?

or are the tweets just 100% text only?

Hi, I am using OAuth Authentication for android. Which method I have to use to authenticate twitter. I used the fallowing method. But not able to authenticate plz help me.

Token = new Token(“token_access”, “token_secret”);
Credential c = new Credential(“user_name”, “consumer_key”, “consumer_secret”, token);

UserAccountManager m = UserAccountManager.getInstance©;

if (m.verifyCredential()) {
GeoLocation loc = new GeoLocation("+37.5", “+26.7”);
Tweet t = new Tweet(“Cool! Geo-located tweet via Twitter API ME. \o/”, loc);
TweetER ter = TweetER.getInstance(m);
t = ter.post(t);

Can u plz help me which API/ methods I have to use in ANDROID.

yao_jiang · 2011-07-18T13:02:00.000Z


ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
			cb.setDebugEnabled(true).setOAuthConsumerKey(consumerKey)
					.setOAuthConsumerSecret(consumerSecret)
					.setOAuthAccessToken(accessToken)
					.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(accessSecret);
		try {
			TwitterFactory factory = new TwitterFactory(cb.build());
			Twitter twitter = factory.getInstance();

			twitter.updateStatus(tweet);

			System.out.println("it worked!");

		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

this works fine for me… im using config builder so dont need a properties file.

Hello, could anybody explain, what happend to OAuth in twitter? I am developing an Internet site and everything worked fine until this morning. Now I get 401 reply:
File “/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tweepy/auth.py” in get_authorization_url
103. raise TweepError(e)

Exception Type: TweepError at /login/twitter
Exception Value: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized

As you can see I use tweepy plugin.
I tried to reset consumer key and secret, regenereated my access_token even, but that had no affect. What can I do to get this back to work?

kurrik · 2011-12-13T01:11:28.000Z

Is there any way you could provide a dump of a failing request? Or more detailed request/response information?

adhavanj · 2012-05-20T17:05:17.000Z

did you get any solution??? i am also facing the same problem

Mobile_Konstant · 2012-06-07T12:05:28.000Z

i have a same problem but when i change the app permission under setting -> Application Type -> Access -> Read and Write it works and my app is running fine. @45

karan_g89 · 2012-11-23T19:53:38.000Z

401 error is mostly due to timezones not being in sync. Have a look here: http://www.codehandling.com/2012/11/twitter-log-in-on-your-website-with.html

I have been running in circles for past few days on OAuth Authentication in Java. Just trying to build a simple test app to teach myself the process. I can grab public data from my twitter account in my java app. I have tried using Twitter4J for Authorization. But their sample code has a Enter PIN which is not what I want. I though I needed to redirect the user to twitter login page and then watch for the call back url. Anyone using Twitter4J and could share working authorization sample code with the call back url?

kulon88 · 2014-06-10T21:10:59.000Z

you can see here how redirect to twitter login page and specify the callback url, works for me https://github.com/yusuke/sign-in-with-twitter

billnandy · 2014-06-15T20:13:00.000Z

Well I finally got the PIN authentication working.

But this is the confusing part. After reading many post about authentication and the CALLBACK URL.

I am coding in Java and using Twitter4J API. I do not want to use the PIN method. Is it not possible to authenticate via Java mobile app with Twitter (Not via the PIN Method)?

I found one reference video to someone coding a Android App and was catching the Twitter CALLBACK URL as authorization completed. Then stores the keys and APP takes over. NO PIN interface needed

Is this possible? Anyone have a java working example of how to authenticate without the PIN?
