[twitter-dev] Re: "Failed to validate oauth signature and token" with xAuth

[Nikolay Klimchuk]

You need to URLEndcode password and user name
And then URLEncode entire base string one more time

[Tom van der Woerdt]

Nikolay,

If you look at the code, you'll see that it's already passed through the URL 
encode function, but it doesn't do a thing. I'd say that the issue is at that 
function.

Hi everyone,

I am an iPhone app developer and I am wanting to track twitter trends
on a topic for my app.

Can you please let me know if this is possible?

Re: [twitter-dev] Newbie so sorry if this is basic

[Tom van der Woerdt]

Twitter doesn't provide a way to check the language of a tweet. You can
easily check the location of the user, but that wouldn't be accurate.
The best way is to ask the Google Translate API to detect the language,
but that would take time. A different way to solve it is to simply check
for common english words.

It sounds like you should make a REST call to fetch the mentions when you
render the page.

Hi,

You can verify your Base String using my OAuth Validator,


To answer your question: it *looks* like your encodeURIComponent
function doesn't do its work properly.

[twitter-dev] Re: "Failed to validate oauth signature and token" with xAuth

[mlowicki]

I tried with data from http://dev.twitter.com/pages/xauth:

(function() {
var secret = "5kEQypKe7lFHnufLtsocB1vAzO07xLFgp2Pc4sp2vk&";
var access_token = "oauth_consumer_key=sGNxxnqgZRHUt6NunK3uw" +

"&oauth_version=1.0" +
"&x_auth_mode=client_auth" +
"&x_auth_password=%&123!aZ+()456242134" +
"&x_auth_username=tpFriendlyGiant";
var base_string = "POST&" +
encodeURIComponent(
"https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token";) + "&" +
encodeURIComponent(access_token);

console.debug("base_string", base_string);
console.debug("oauth_signature", b64_hmac_sha1(secret, base_string));

This is my base_string:

I found the differences in encoding %&123!aZ+() prefix from password
in base_string:

>From dev.twitter.com/pages/xauth:

%2525%2526123%2521aZ%252B%2528%2529

>From code above:

%25%26123!aZ%2B()

I use wrong encoding method then and encoding is wrong applied?

[twitter-dev] Re: API doesn't respond to my status update request. JS - XmlHTTPRequest.

[Kakysha]

Yes, of course. The oAuth library - is the most (the only one :)) )
popular library for JS -  http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/javascript/
from John Kristian. It was adviced on oauth.net

The accessor.serviceProvider.actionURL is "http://api.twitter.com/1/
statuses/update.json"

If you need - this are my request headers : 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1s4e6u1s8p84yq4/z.png

It seems like twitter forces to close the connection ((

Re: [twitter-dev] Error posting "_" to twitter using statuses/update

[Tom van der Woerdt]

Just checked your Base String in my OAuth Base String Validator
(), you apparently use too much URL
encoding on the status= part of the Base String. If I replace the %255F
with %5F, it doesn't give an error. ;-) (Don't ask me why. It just does)

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter client to get updates

[ram]

I would like to show the consumers his notifications (  tweets of
people he follows )  when he logs in to our portal.

Is there a Daemon client available already; in Perl or Java
preferably.
I am pretty new to any API access on twitter.

Also apparently from the dev.twitter site there are no restrictions on
number of notifications / followings etc for API access.
But how does twitter make sure they wont run out of resources by
giving unlimited service.
