I have a media API and I’m attempting to allow users of third party applications to tweet video via my API, so I’m implementing Oauth Echo. I am able to complete the first step, verifying the user’s credentials; however, when I go to initialize the upload I get a “Could not authenticate you” error. In the chunked media upload docs, I noticed this section, but it’s unclear to me how this applies to performing chunked media upload via Oauth Echo:
“Because the method uses multipart POST, OAuth is handled a little differently. POST or query string parameters are not used when calculating an OAuth signature basestring or signature. Only the oauth_* parameters are used.”
Here’s my trace:
