What code are you using? Is there an error code from the Twitter API?

Here is the response: I use Java Spring Social for this:

Caused by: org.scribe.exceptions.OAuthException: Response body is incorrect. Can't extract token and secret from this: '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hash>
  <error>The given URL is considered malware</error>
  <request>/oauth/request_token</request>
</hash>
'
	at org.scribe.extractors.TokenExtractorImpl.extract(TokenExtractorImpl.java:41)

We’re not able to assist with individual and specific app issues here. Have you checked with the Spring Social folks to discover whether they have any similar known issues? I’ve not heard of this error before (that’s not a Twitter API error response that I know of)

Do you think something blocked from twitter side?

Oauth not working for domain: gametactic.org (flagged as malware)

Hi I got a website/app with twitter OAUTH authentication. It has a few different domain names, and it works fine on the following domains: http://wottactic.com http://wottactic.eu http://wottactic.tk On one domain however http://gametactic.org, it doesn't work. Somwhere thge OAuth library I use throws the following error: "Error: The given URL is considered malware". I'm assuming the domain http://gametactic.org has been accidentally flagged as malware. Can you please investigate ?

Hi @andypiper The error actually thrown by twitter and as per the above link other users also facing same issue, Is there anyway to check if ‘ranker.com’ somehow blacklisted at your end
