Receiving 401: Invalid / expired Token on user_timeline

appnowgo · 2011-08-24T21:07:13.000Z

The users of my app authenticate with OAuth and everything seems to work fine for a few requests to the API but after some number of them it starts to respond with:

Twitter::Unauthorized: GET https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=%40nyphil: 401: Invalid / expired Token

It’s certainly not hammering the API and since some number of the requests complete successfully, I’m at a loss as to why this is occurring. I’m using the Twitter gem.

I’ve the same problem too. I think that the OAuth expire the token after a time.

How come none of this questions are answered? I’ve read a lot, with no answers… I have the same problem and can’t find the proper documentation link…
