OAuth web request returns 400 - Bad request with no details in body

[Roman205A]

Hello,

I am brand new to Twitter API and have spent a phew days on Twitter docs and forums with no luck. Please help, I don’t know where else to find solution.

I am trying to make following request and always get 400 - Bad request. I am sure my authorization headers are correct and I have not exceeded limit. There is no body in the response, therefore I have no details of what has gone wrong.

GET https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/home_timeline.json

Accept: /
Connection: close
User-Agent : Fiddler
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key=“xxx”, oauth_nonce=“u9cQiN458UduqURVCQI2LilodoHfhJWys79LKP5DTa”, oauth_signature=“KmTPuZzSusGFQRQm6728Ei0%2BKYU%3D”, oauth_signature_method=“HMAC-SHA1”, oauth_timestamp=“1538166457”, oauth_token=“xxx”, oauth_version=“1.0”
Content-Length: 0
Host: api.twitter.com

all my algorithms match results with:

https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/authentication/guides/authorizing-a-request.html
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/authentication/guides/creating-a-signature

Please advise, this is starting to drive me crazy. You are my only hope. If I could only see details of 400 - Bad request (e.g. in request body)

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,
Roman

First off, please do not share your keys publicly. These are meant to be private.

I recommend that you try using a tool such as Insomnia to put together this request. It will automatically handle the generated tokens, and you can copy a request as a curl command and use it in command line if you’d like.

Please let me know if this helps.
