Weird error

[brill]

Hi!
I’m getting a weird error when doing a search in the v1.1 API. I’m doing the example in the documentation which follows the guideline “Ensure all parameters are properly URL encoded.”:

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=twitterdev%20new%20premium

When I run this I get an authorization error. However, if I do the same search but without the URL encoding it works fine:

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=twitterdev new premium

Below is screenshots from Postman where I show the two examples i just described.

So, why do I get an error when following the documentation and vice versa?
Why is the error “401 Authorization Required” when that’s not the case here?

I’m very confused at the moment.

I’ve seen this quite often when using Postman, and I’d recommend taking a look at this issue on GitHub which provides a pre-request script that may help.
