Re: [oauth] Signature Invalid and Token Rejected Errors-Yahoo Oauth Social API using Javascript, Getting contacts from Yahoo using Social API by OAUTH
Hi there - Unfortunately, none of the Yahoo Social APIs support HTTPS. Try again using HTTP. Did you see HTTPS referenced anywhere in the docs? The Yahoo Contacts API is documented here: http://developer.yahoo.com/social/rest_api_guide/contact_api.html With regards to accessing Yahoo OAuth APIs entirely in Javascript - I have heard of people trying to do this, but I've never actually witnessed anyone successfully doing it. We are very aware that Yahoo Social APIs are not really accessible to developers who only want to write Javascript. Yahoo, along with other Service Providers, have mostly been looking at Oauth-WRAP to support a Javascript Profile. We have several SDKs available to access Yahoo Contacts: http://developer.yahoo.com/social/sdk/ Ping me directly if you have any more questions, Thanks Allen On 2/12/10 12:02 AM, "Test" wrote: > > When I tried with "https://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/"+guid+"/ > contacts"; I am getting Connection timed Out or Connection to the host > lost. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OAuth" group.

[oauth] Signature Invalid and Token Rejected Errors-Yahoo Oauth Social API using Javascript, Getting contacts from Yahoo using Social API by OAUTH
After referring so many threads from Google and Yahoo, I was not able to get an accurate/correct/exact answer/solution/fix for the signature_invalid problem which i am also facing. In those threads most of the samples for OAuth application were in JAVA,C# and Perl languages.But I wanted it working in Javascript. Though I found the sample code from http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/javascript/ - still it was not that much clear to get the contacts of a user from Yahoo Social API. I followed the exact steps of OAuth too. After struggling for one week I am posting this thread out of frustration.I just needed a full fledged working sample or example of Getting contacts from Yahoo using OAuth in JS.Wherever I searched the Signature and Token Issues for Yahoo OAUTH, I was not able to get a complete answer. Even I tried the simple CURL command to GET/POST a request for Yahoo Social API. There too I was getting the same error, When I tried with "https://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/"+guid+"/ contacts"; I am getting Connection timed Out or Connection to the host lost. I am not sure why Yahoo Social API is not returning the exact error response as I got signature_invalid and token_rejected errors for mere API calls. Is there any solutions or suggestions atleast for gettting it work?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
