I have cron’d code which picks up new @replies to this account only. It has been returning 401 now for the past 48 hours. I have tried re-authenticating. On Tuesday it was doing it intermittently. It is now doing it on every call (every 10 minutes).

The request is: http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/replies.json?count=200&include_entities=true&since_id=217365510059339777

The Authorization: header was: OAuth oauth_consumer_key=“InGec0wsGXiK266jWUhOGQ”,oauth_nonce=“8o04h1wrvOOBn4RCxw6pF4EoOW8”,oauth_signature=“WAC73Bh6BAJ0M14uSMKGsOevkbU%3D”,oauth_signature_method=“HMAC-SHA1”,oauth_timestamp=“1340872664”,oauth_token=“16719737-PsjtIiFm05bLnqWowj2xBfaDgiCs8j2CeGuo9O6Z0”,oauth_version=“1.0”

Hope that helps.
Cliff.

I’m having a similar problem. I’m a user of UberSocial and whenever I try to check my Timeline on interactions a message pops up and says " Error validating twitter credentials could not authenticate OAuth ". I’m 15 and totally oblivious as to what is going on. I re-installed it 3 times, revoked access to the app and the problem is still occurring.

MySmileInspires · 2012-06-28T14:53:17.000Z

Your lucky cause iPhone has tons of apps for twitter. Blackberry only has UberSocial and the regular twitter app .

Unrelated, you should switch to using the statuses/mentions endpoint – statuses/replies is not valid and has not been a documented API method in years. You may find it just disappearing one day.

If you’re trying to get replies or mentions for an account, polling the REST API is not the most efficient means – you really should consider using User Streams instead.

Hi @MySmileInspires – the problem isn’t you at all but just Twitter. We hope to have the issue fixed today and then your app should work again!

Noojib32 · 2012-06-28T17:16:21.000Z

We have been seeing significantly more 401 errors over the past 48 hours. Calls to account/verify_credentials succeed, but calls to statuses/mentions or statuses/direct_messages fail are failing with authentication errors

I’m had this Authentication OAuth prblm since the beginning of last Month ,cn the guys help overcome this PLSss ?

This recent spat of erroneous 401 errors should now be resolved. If you’re still encountering 401s, it’s most likely a material (often subtle) issue with an OAuth implementation. Thanks everyone!

Thank you very much for having kept us up to date with the latest information.

Thanks Taylor, appreciate all of you and your team’s efforts.

semnil · 2012-06-29T00:19:46.000Z

Thank you!
Our problem has been resolved.

aectann · 2012-07-09T17:51:28.000Z

I’m still seeing those 401s… code that used to work now returns…
{“error”:“Could not authenticate with OAuth.”,“request”:"/1/account/verify_credentials.json?"}

KawaPanga · 2012-07-21T01:40:00.000Z

This seems to be related.
I have a link to 401 issue @ https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/9467

alemanXpalabras · 2012-12-03T20:29:48.000Z

Hi. I’m suffering this problem from some days until now.
I think this is related with de content of the status, because i have tried with different status, and some of them work the first time, and others don’t never work.
Some ideas??
thanks

Verify that you’re handling characters that must be encoded in URLs or POST bodies correctly – there are many reserved characters, such as “!” and “:” and “&” that when present within a POST body or querystring must be percent-encoded. We’ve been lenient on this in the past but we’re stricter now.

Apoorva_Gowda · 2012-12-26T04:24:00.000Z

This was not happening before… It was fine even in November!! so the implementation cannot be the problem!!! If am able to login then how can it be a problem to post tweets?
