Not Able To access Twitter Synchronous Analytics GET stats/accounts/:account_id

[sachin71421]

My Process

1. I am creating signature using this url – entity=ACCOUNT&end_time=2018-7-19&entity_ids=avc3z,avo2i,avqlt,aww2n&granularity=TOTAL&metric_groups=MEDIA,LIFE_TIME_VALUE_MOBILE_CONVERSION,ENGAGEMENT,BILLING,VIDEO&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER&start_time=2018-7-19
   And Getting signature using query parameter string.

2. and I am Calling — https://ads-api.twitter.com/3/stats/accounts/18ce54om822?entity=ACCOUNT&end_time=2018-7-19&entity_ids=avc3z,avo2i,avqlt,aww2n&granularity=TOTAL&metric_groups=MEDIA,LIFE_TIME_VALUE_MOBILE_CONVERSION,ENGAGEMENT,BILLING,VIDEO&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER&start_time=2018-7-19
   And My Oauthorisation header is — oauth_consumer_key="…",oauth_nonce="…",oauth_signature="…",oauth_signature_method=“HMAC-SHA1”,oauth_timestamp=“1531989949”,oauth_token="…",oauth_version=“1.0”

But I am Able to call api in postman as i have mention in attachment.

Please Let me know if i am not able to create signature or is there any concept of base url
Please help me facing problem on this
And i am able to access other api like Line item Placements, Campaigns, Media Creative etc.

And giving me error like this – {“errors”:[{“code”:“UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS”,“message”:“This request is not properly authenticated”}],“request”:{“params”:{}}}

Hi @sachin71421! I have edited your post to hide oauth_consumer_key and other headers, because I think this is private information and should not be made public.

This error usually appears when the parameter values are not properly encoded.

Have you tried with dates like 2018-07-19 instead of 2018-7-19?

I also don’t know what you mean by “signature”.

[sachin71421]

Thank you @majoritasdev i will take care from next time.

https://ads-api.twitter.com/3/stats/accounts/18ce54om822?entity=ACCOUNT&end_time=2018-11-24&entity_ids=avc3z,avo2i,avqlt,aww2n&granularity=TOTAL&metric_groups=MEDIA,LIFE_TIME_VALUE_MOBILE_CONVERSION,ENGAGEMENT,BILLING,VIDEO&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER&start_time=2018-11-19

see above is my complete url and i am able to get the data from post man but it is giving 401 error in my code.

I have called twitter many api like and what i am doing in these api is -

i am calling this api also -
https://ads-api.twitter.com/3/accounts/:account_id/media_creatives?count=200

see what i am doing in above api, I am just creating oauth_signature using count patameter and passing this parameter to call above api.

I also don’t know what you mean by “signature”.

I am encoding this parameter entity=ACCOUNT&end_time=2018-11-24&entity_ids=avc3z,avo2i,avqlt,aww2n&granularity=TOTAL&metric_groups=MEDIA,LIFE_TIME_VALUE_MOBILE_CONVERSION,ENGAGEMENT,BILLING,VIDEO&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER&start_time=2018-11-19

and creating signature to call the API.

[majoritasdev]

I see. Aren’t you using a library in your code, to take care of the Authorization header for you? Why do you need to create oauth_signature manually?..

[sachin71421]

Is this issue of auth_signature ??

I am not using any library on my server side code.

[majoritasdev]

So you followed all the steps here to generate the oauth_signature?

[sachin71421]

@majoritasdev in htis api https://ads-api.twitter.com/3/stats/accounts/18ce54om822?entity=ACCOUNT&end_time=2018-11-24&entity_ids=avc3z,avo2i,avqlt,aww2n&granularity=TOTAL&metric_groups=MEDIA,LIFE_TIME_VALUE_MOBILE_CONVERSION,ENGAGEMENT,BILLING,VIDEO&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER&start_time=2018-11-19

[sachin71421]

[sachin71421]

I have followed all the steps bur still giving the error -

{“errors”:[{“code”:“UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS”,“message”:“This request is not properly authenticated”}],“request”:{“params”:{}}}

please help me for this

[sachin71421]

one more thing i just wanted to ask
do i need to convert timestamp into seconds or miliseconds ??

[majoritasdev]

I think seconds.

[sachin71421]

Hi @majoritasdev,

Is this right parameters to create signature string —

end_time=2018-11-17&entity=ACCOUNT&entity_ids=avc3z,avo2i,avqlt,aww2n&granularity=TOTAL&metric_groups=VIDEO,MEDIA,LIFE_TIME_VALUE_MOBILE_CONVERSION,ENGAGEMENT,BILLING,WEB_CONVERSION&oauth_consumer_key=iLxfV4Ic6Wdn5DxBLXftkVjuC&oauth_nonce=Nx0ZEUVUtOf3z4b60TpWEndvzemXTdA0&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1532064109&oauth_token=849562846899970050-Xt9i3Fjooyj02j1H4nrbEBK93iWs5db&oauth_version=1.0&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER&start_time=2018-11-12

[sachin71421]

Could you please check i have full access permission of this api…

[majoritasdev]

Hi @sachin71421. Maybe you could check again the process of getting the oauth_signature?.. Make sure you follow all the steps in the docs. This is why I use a library, among other reasons, to avoid all the hassle of getting the signature myself.

[sachin71421]

Could you please check the steps here –

Synchronous Analytics GET stats/accounts/:account_id api giving me unauthorised access

What i am doing - first i am calling this api - https://ads-api.twitter.com/3/accounts/18ce54om822/campaigns and taking entity_id from above api - avc3z,avo2i,avqlt,aww2n And, passing above entity_id to this api – https://ads-api.twitter.com/3/stats/accounts/18ce54om822?end_time=2018-11-17&entity=ACCOUNT&entity_ids=avc3z,avo2i,avqlt,aww2n&granularity=TOTAL&metric_groups=ENGAGEMENT&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER&start_time=2018-11-12 But it is giving me – {“errors”:[{“code”:“UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS…

what kind of library you are using ??
i am doing code in java.

[majoritasdev]

I am coding in PHP, but you can find Twitter Libraries for many programming languages, including Java, at https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/developer-utilities/twitter-libraries.

[majoritasdev]

In the parameter string you posted here, the query string parameters are not in alphabetical order.

[sachin71421]

So, How would you arrange please tell me i think basic mistake i am doing.

[sachin71421]

Hi @majoritasdev ,

Now it is working but if i am passing one values inside querry parameter strings like -

https://ads-api.twitter.com/3/stats/accounts/18ce54om822?end_time=2018-11-19&entity=ACCOUNT&entity_ids=avc3z,avo2i,avqlt,aww2n&granularity=TOTAL&metric_groups=BILLING,ENGAGEMENT&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER&start_time=2018-11-14

it is showing error but when i am pass one parameters like -

https://ads-api.twitter.com/3/stats/accounts/18ce54om822?end_time=2018-11-19&entity=ACCOUNT&entity_ids=avc3z&granularity=TOTAL&metric_groups=ENGAGEMENT&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER&start_time=2018-11-14

then it is working

it is resolved. Actually, I think encoding is not correct that’s way the problem comming
i can do my working but if you tell me how to encode prperly that would be good.

Thanx for your help.
