What is this PIN thats been requested?

How do you stop the Twitter OAuth from even asking a user for that pin once they have Authorized your app? It is very ugly and since it doesn;'t do anything, why have it?

yao_jiang · 2011-07-26T14:06:34.000Z

pin is not needed though… if you are using the demo yusuke put up on github u just have to change it up a bit to avoid the pin…

i set up the credentials via configuration

// set credentials for twitter account
ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
cb.setDebugEnabled(true) .setOAuthConsumerKey(twitterAccountInfo.getConsumerKey())
.setOAuthConsumerSecret(twitterAccountInfo.getConsumerSecret())
.setOAuthAccessToken(twitterAccountInfo.getAccessToken())
.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(twitterAccountInfo.getAccessSecret());

TwitterFactory factory = new TwitterFactory(cb.build());
Twitter twitter = factory.getInstance();

im able to tweet through my java file without using a pin

Can anybody please explain me how to prevent checking for callback url in android? Because in android I know it is necessary to enter the callback url. But am doing a mimic of iPhone where callback url is not permitted. So any answer on this?

Hi

i have a issue where after logging into twitter , i get step of authentication process where its showing a pin of 7 digits, so where should i authenticate the pin or may be how shud i use the pin or do i have a mechanism to bypass pin request authentication…

bonnieharrishar · 2011-11-06T17:47:00.000Z

yes how do i get my pin

JohnnyMcgruber · 2011-11-07T16:05:00.000Z

but with that you’ll be using your own twitter account… not the user twitter account, for that we need the PIN… i don’t know why twitter made this mandatory but this has broken our Android API.

caktho · 2011-11-15T02:49:50.000Z

hi all,
for single user application, we can use your own token. once authenticated, it need no PIN.
for multi user application we cannot share the same token. we use PIN instead of token.
and I still don’t know where to get this PIN. anyone?

I have developed android app for twitter and checking for authentication of my app, but after login , i am required to enter some pin number in my app to complete authentication.

I don’t know where to enter the PIN number .

Code reference: https://github.com/brione/Brion-Learns-OAuth/tree.

It would be grateful if you help me in this.

Thanks.

is there any possible NOT to use the pin authorization or at least to use just only once of the authorization??

IrMobileMaster · 2012-03-06T01:53:00.000Z

oh my god! you have created a system that no body can use it easily.
until yesterday the url for getting token was “https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=*************” today my app crashed and when I checked found that you have changed it to “https://twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=**************”.
Also I have problem with getting PIN. Old sample codes doesn’t work because you are changing all things regularly.
Please build SDK for android and other OS to don’t put us in middle of trouble.

AxelVerdruye · 2012-07-17T22:52:28.000Z

whell, my app works perfectly. If youre new to my app then you have to take the pin step. After that it gets saved to a database where each time you login with your info, it searches for your keys. So you never have to redo the pin code.

BUT, when i installed tweetdeck, i never had to do these steps… how did they skip it?
Thank you

widiyastanto · 2013-06-30T09:55:49.000Z

I can now post a tweet on user’s behalf - however the problem is, Tweeter website is offering PIN to user and enter in the consumer site - NOW THIS PIN IS UNACCEPTABLE…HOW CAN I PROGRAM SO THAT THE PIN CAN BE AVOIDED ALLTOGETHER. Not only that, the Tweeter website is offering to enter PIN for all posts regardless of whether the user is logged in or not - this too is unacceptable
Please HELP! See the code below - I am using Mule Twitter connector…

public void authorize() throws Exception{

	MuleContext muleContext = null;

	MuleContextFactory contextFactory = new DefaultMuleContextFactory();

	MuleContextBuilder contextBuilder = new DefaultMuleContextBuilder();

	muleContext = contextFactory.createMuleContext(contextBuilder);

	muleContext.start();

	setMuleContext(muleContext);

	TwitterConnector tConnect = new TwitterConnector();

	tConnect.setMuleContext(muleContext);

	tConnect.setConsumerKey("some key");

	tConnect.setConsumerSecret("some secret");	

	tConnect.connect(null,null);

	RequestToken _requestToken = tConnect.requestAuthorization(null);

	setRequestToken(_requestToken);	

}

public void tweet(String pin) throws Exception{

	TwitterConnector tConnect = new TwitterConnector();

	tConnect.setMuleContext(muleContext);

	tConnect.setConsumerKey("some key");

	tConnect.setConsumerSecret("some secret");		

	tConnect.connect(null,null);

	AccessToken accessToken =  

                    tConnect.setOauthVerifier(getRequestToken(), pin);

	String accesskey = accessToken.getToken();

	String accessSecret = accessToken.getTokenSecret();

	tConnect.connect(accesskey,accessSecret);

	User user =  tConnect.showUser();

	String username = user.getName();

	tConnect.updateStatus("some tweet", 111, null, null);

}

Is there any workaround that “https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token?oauth_callback=oob” call ?
Whenever I try to use a html encoded string as my callback, instead of oob i get a 401 Unauthorized error.
