Tweepy error in auth.get_authorization_url: 403 Forbidden

Refnatpro · 2014-01-18T11:05:14.000Z

Hello,

My website is working with twitter authentication without problem since a Year, and since a few days I have a 403 when trying to get the authentication url.
Nothing is written in my app information on twitter developpers.

I’m working with tweepy:

import tweepy
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(‘ggYC1jpFfXXXX’,‘XXXXXXXXXX’)

redirect_url = auth.get_authorization_url()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
File “/home/twaffic/env/twaffic/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tweepy/auth.py”, line 103, in get_authorization_url
raise TweepError(e)
TweepError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

Did twitter blocked my app? I’m still able to tweet for the registered users…

Thanks for your help

tweepy for whatever reason does not always use SSL

try…

import tweepy
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(‘ggYC1jpFfXXXX’,‘XXXXXXXXXX’)
auth.secure = True
