Hello, I am unsure if there is a channel for direct contact with Twitter Support, but I discovered this forum so I will keep the discussion light. I am looking for direct contact regarding this issue if possible.
Anyways, my name is Jared and I’m a product manager for Azuqua. We are an enterprise software integration company that allows non-technical users to integrate Twitter with 200+ SaaS apps. We are having trouble with authentication regarding the Follow user command through the API.
In our developer portal we have our permissions set to “Read and Write only”, but when we attempt to Follow User we receive this error:
{
"message": "Authorization Required",
"headers":
{ "cache-control": "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, pre-check=0, post-check=0", "connection": "close", "content-disposition": "attachment; filename=json.json", "content-encoding": "gzip", "content-length": "111", "content-type": "application/json;charset=utf-8", "date": "Wed, 01 Aug 2018 23:30:27 GMT", "expires": "Tue, 31 Mar 1981 05:00:00 GMT", "last-modified": "Wed, 01 Aug 2018 23:30:27 GMT", "pragma": "no-cache", "server": "tsa_b", "set-cookie": [ "personalization_id=\"v1_OeHFDPgRLIG6o7v1V/KyGg==\"; Expires=Fri, 31 Jul 2020 23:30:27 GMT; Path=/; Domain=.twitter.com", "lang=en; Path=/", "guest_id=v1%3A153316622719432284; Expires=Fri, 31 Jul 2020 23:30:27 GMT; Path=/; Domain=.twitter.com" ], "status": "401 Unauthorized", "strict-transport-security": "max-age=631138519", "www-authenticate": "OAuth realm=\"https://api.twitter.com\"", "x-access-level": "read", "x-connection-hash": "0fc82c20031af5857ca1eaf94114ad61", "x-content-type-options": "nosniff", "x-frame-options": "SAMEORIGIN", "x-response-time": "15", "x-transaction": "00b936de00009db6", "x-twitter-response-tags": "BouncerCompliant", "x-xss-protection": "1; mode=block; report=https://twitter.com/i/xss_report" }
,
"statusCode": 401,
"body":
{ "request": "/1.1/friendships/create.json", "error": "Read-only application cannot POST." }
,
"_error": true,
"code": 401
}
I would like to highlight the request response: Read-only application cannot POST.
I am also wondering if this is related to your announcement to set API restrictions as of August 16.
Looking forward to a response! Thanks!
