I’m currently working on implementing an authorization feature into my app using the “three-legged” approach. In order to obtain the request token (using a POST call) I use Ajax to ask for the request token. My application is reporting ‘success’ after the call, as the server is returning an object; however, this object is strangely an HTML file- to be more specific, the HTML file of my program- instead of the string token to be exchanged for the access token. Has anyone experienced a problem of this sort?
function getTweets() {
var currentTime = new Date();
var time = currentTime.getTime();
var code = getNonce();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: {
_url: "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token"
},
dataType: "text",
headers: {
"oauth_nonce": code,
"oauth_callback": "http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com%2F",
"oauth_signature_method": "HMAC-SHA1",
"oauth_timestamp": time,
"oauth_consumer_key": "xxx",
"oauth_signature": "xxx",
"oauth_version": "1.0"
},
success: function(data) {
alert("Success!");
console.log(data);
},
error: function(data) {
alert("Something went wrong...");
console.log(data);
}
});
}
function getNonce() {
var code = "";
for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
code += Math.floor(Math.random() * 9).toString();
}
return code;
}
