POST request returned {"message":"Could not authenticate you","code":32} after migrated to API v1.1

[CoraltreeRNSDev]

I was getting the same error but for me it was a simple issue. I did not pay careful enough attention to the documentation. When building the “signature base string” the values must be in strict alphabetical order - so this includes the name/value pairs you are including in your query string (GETs) or post data (POSTs). I wasn’t doing this, so some of my API calls worked and some didn’t - purely by fluke (if I happened by chance it include them in the correct order).

When I ensured that they were in order then it all worked fine. I found it my just using the oauth tool for the API in question to generate the example signature, header and HTTP request, then comparing it to the versions my software was generating. It stood out like a sore thumb then.

Bug or Spec change (of Twitter API 1.1)

Same issue 37 weeks after being first reported. Why is Twitter staff doing NOTHING? If you don’t seriously think about providing support to developers, why don’t you just close down this unfriendly platform? I’m exhausted trying to find some help…

Same issue here - code 32. I really think it does have something to do with making Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. 1.1 is much more strict that 1.

@mazdaknik would you mind posting more of your code? What do buildAuthorizationHeader() and buildBaseString look like? I’d love to know!

cjsoftlab, The solution in the link that mitsuaki_i posted fixes the issue. Simply url encode your data for the post of the status or any other post data.

[cjsoftlab]

Not for me. mitsuaki_i’s method (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14672502/bug-or-spec-change-of-twitter-api-1-1) is applied when posting:

That’s not my case…unfortunately. Thanks anyway.

FOUND A SOLUTION - using the Abraham TwitterOAuth library. If you are using an older implementation, the following lines should be added after the new TwitterOAuth object is instantiated:

$connection->host = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/"; $connection->ssl_verifypeer = TRUE; $connection->content_type = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded';

The first 2 lines are now documented in Abraham library Readme file, but the 3rd one is not. Also make sure that your oauth_version is still 1.0.

Same issue here!!

-All worked out- just add the lines above.

All of our POST request would failed after migrate to API v1.1 but GET requests still work fine.

Is there anything else that we need to modify?That’s not my case…unfortunately. Thanks anyway.

[ClinicMattersTV]

they just breeze in here to give unhelpful tips, they really need to consider shutting down this api. it’s not just useless, it does not work, so exhaustive.

Working on the same problem here,

The one sticking point is the error 32 now being returned.
{“message”:“Could not authenticate you”,“code”:32}

I am using the stageWebView, Mobile config, (iPhone), building with AS3 and I can log in, authenticate, and the code even returns a successfuly completed to me - BUT - as it does, I get that error, and the tweet post (status) fails.

The following are traces from various parts of the code.

[SWF] PinPointPremium.swf - 9008565 bytes after decompression 1516:Here we are calling Auth 1639PinPoint Xtra puts ShanghaiTimes here: http://tinyurl.com/9qteqfu 1640:Sending Tweet via Tweetr.as 1 {"errors":[{"message":"Could not authenticate you","code":32}]} Event Complete: Username: ShanghaiTimes User Id: 16xxxxxxxxx OAuth Token: 16xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxqQ OAuth Token Secret: oJExxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxgw [UnloadSWF] PinPointPremium.swf Test Movie terminated.

Has anyone found a definitive solution to this?

Take a look at [node:204] for some typical tips in debugging OAuth issues. In particular, I’d look at how you’re encoding characters like the " " (space character) and other aspects of the request like the HTTP verb being used (POST)

I love you

[renanvaz]

If you are using the TwitterAPIExchange, you must call the “setGetfield” method before “buildOauth”.

[venkat_aspire]

I’m using zend oauth client to connect to twitter api. I had the api working properly for version 1 from which I’m migrating to 1.1. I receive both the request token and response token. When I then request for twitter api users/show.json? with version 1.1 I receive {“message”:“Could not authenticate you”,“code”:32}

I followed all discussions regarding the same and nothing worked . the following were the details

url : https://api.twitter.com:443/1.1/users/show.json?screen_name=venkat_aspire

Header details
(
[0] => Host: api.twitter.com
[1] => Connection: close
[2] => Accept-encoding: gzip, deflate
[3] => User-Agent: Zend_Http_Client
[4] => Authorization: OAuth realm="",oauth_consumer_key=“hpxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxw”,oauth_nonce=“a7c01abe4c10d0c955b2bbee724ae2d7”,oauth_signature_method=“HMAC-SHA1”,oauth_timestamp=“1386944690”,oauth_version=“1.0”,oauth_token=“97xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxCY”,oauth_signature=“9ARUtWNM2P0L2xoXW%2F5jneXT%2FlI%3D”

Can anyone please help me on this?
