Im trying to access the twitter feed for a school assignment. Unfortunately I am getting a 401 error for all requests. My code is 99% copied from the examples, yet it still fails.
@twitter_api_key = ENV[‘TWITTER_API_KEY’]
@twitter_api_secret = ENV[‘TWITTER_API_SECRET’]
@twitter_token = ENV[‘TWITTER_TOKEN’]
@twitter_token_secret = ENV[‘TWITTER_TOKEN_SECRET’]
def prepare_access_token(oauth_token = @twitter_token, oauth_token_secret = @twitter_token_secret)
consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(“APIKey”, “APISecret”,
{ :site => “https://api.twitter.com”,
:scheme => :header
})
now create the access token object from passed values
token_hash = { :oauth_token => oauth_token,
:oauth_token_secret => oauth_token_secret
}
access_token = OAuth::AccessToken.from_hash(consumer, token_hash )
return access_token
end
def twitter_request
Exchange our oauth_token and oauth_token secret for the AccessToken instance.
access_token = prepare_access_token(@twitter_token, @twitter_token_secret)
use the access token as an agent to get the home timeline
response = access_token.request(:get, “https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/home_timeline.json”)
return response
end
Even the curl example from the oauth test page returns a 404 error.
Any ideas? Ive verified Im using the correct token and token secrete.
