Registering webhook gives 32 Could not authenticate you

[arora1028]

I am using curl request to register a webhook via postman for all event types.
Used following example from documentation -

Example Request

$ curl --request POST --url ‘https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account_activity/all/:ENV_NAME/webhooks.json?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyour_domain.com%2Fwebhook%2Ftwitter’ --header ‘authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key=“CONSUMER_KEY”, oauth_nonce=“GENERATED”, oauth_signature=“GENERATED”, oauth_signature_method=“HMAC-SHA1”, oauth_timestamp=“GENERATED”, oauth_token=“ACCESS_TOKEN”, oauth_version=“1.0”’

I used my own url, consumer_key and access_token.
I am getting 302 Could not authenticate you

{
    "errors": [
        {
            "code": 32,
            "message": "Could not authenticate you."
        }
    ]
}

How do you generate the signature?

Hi @arora1028. Could you recheck and retry your authorization to make sure there weren’t any errors with your keys? Error 32 corresponds with HTTP 401. There was an issue with the authentication data for the request.

If it still gives you the same error, could you send a screenshot of your Postman request so I can see if it looks correct?

It seems like you’re up to step 3 as explained in this document. Could you read through all the steps, and then see if you’ve completed the securing webhooks portion.

Let me know if the issue persists after you’ve followed all the steps listed above.

I have followed all the steps to create an App, and I received verification and my two API keys. I give authorization to the App, the screen goes back to my website and my plug-in, and then I have to start all over again. In the Log, I get an error 32 “could not authenticate you.” Please tell me what to do next.

If it is bad authentication (error 32) before it hits the webhook, then you should check to make sure that you have done the following. This information and more is located in our troubleshooting doc:

1. you are using the proper auth keys that you pulled from the Twitter app that is designated as your AAAPI dev environment. Since this endpoint requires user auth, you will need to use both your consumer keys and access tokens.
2. you have properly generated the oauth nonce, oauth_signature, and oauth_timestamp for your request.

If you have properly set up your Twitter app, then chances are that you aren’t handling number two properly. If so, please consider using an oauth library (example), one of our github repositories (account-activity-dashboard or twitter-webhook-boilerplate-node), using Insomnia, or try using Twurl.
