Re: [twitter-dev] Invalid signature
If you're trying to POST a status update, then you need to use the HTTP POST method. Further, you should place the API-related data in the POST body of the request instead of the query string (in other words, your status=HiAll shouldn't be in the query string). There are many reasons your signature may be invalid -- how are you generating your signature? Are you using an OAuth library? If at all possible, I recommend using HTTP header-based OAuth instead of putting your oauth_* parameters on the query string: it separates concerns and makes debugging these scenarios much easier. @episod http://twitter.com/episod - Taylor Singletary On Fri, Apr 15, 2011 at 2:03 AM, nite21 shanebond1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Guys I am getting an invalid oauth signature error my url is this https://api.twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?oauth_consumer_key=iVjNcp1YHbQJMzmrpEaNgoauth_nonce=1184941015oauth_signature=Hndgqkow8z29ltlAir05uyYRuE0%3Doauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1oauth_timestamp=1302856754oauth_token=53616715-lJvGpHoGgxWqvHFDUM0eanKUqHtNx3Wcc6sh8Bgcistatus=HiAll Will u help me out with this error thanks Regards Nite -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
[twitter-dev] Invalid signature - but it's fine
Hi all, I'm trying to write a simple Twitter client but so far I'm not making a lot of progress. I already got as far as retrieving the timeline, but I seem to be unable to sign the request. When I re-calculate the signature with a different application, it's exactly the same. Yet Twitter reports that it's wrong! (Incorrect signature with a 401 error) Of course, I'm using a proper secret and not the one below, but that one was used to calculate the signature for the request below. Can anyone confirm that I'm using the proper signature? Information is below.

Re: [twitter-dev] Invalid signature - but it's fine
Hi Tom, I'm happy to help diagnose this, but need a couple pieces more information -- you may want to use more fake details to make this process easy for me to replicate -- in addition to the access token, the access token secret would be necessary to recreate this request (are you utilizing the access token secret when generating your signature?) Your signature base string and authorization header look otherwise correct.

Re: [twitter-dev] Invalid Signature Request when POST - ing
For the benefit of the list: I had an exchange with Mark off-list (because of OAuth credentials). One of the errors turned out to be in my app itself. The other is not confirmed/reproducible at this time.

Re: [twitter-dev] Invalid Signature Request when POST - ing
I have started getting this error too (I think they are related). In the response to the POST I see this: errorinvalid / used nonce/error The nonce value used was: XEl7Q8 GET requests are working fine. And the exact same application works fine with a different OAuth account (even with POST).

[twitter-dev] Invalid Signature when manipulating URL directly
Hello all. I just recently started using the twitter API and oAuth for a site I am working on. After wrapping my head around oAuth things seemed to be going well. Out of the 12 components of the library i am using, 8 worked right off the bat. Unfortunately, methods where I change the URL, then post to it seem to be breaking, resulting an invalid signature response. I am able to successfully post a new status, get timelines and grab direct messages, so I am fairly confident that my oAuth lib is working my URL is constructed as follows (replaced the '' with new lines for readiblity): [POST-ing] http://www.twitter.com/statuses/destroy/5206890175.xml? oauth_consumer_key=Y6AmNZPU23AOQLwCSmevQ oauth_nonce=ret3uSMFONY oauth_signature=QBzS8c51wJE6KuHG8XjlmrzL2Ko%3D oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1 oauth_timestamp=1256668802 oauth_token=83934696-9mlDot0sC1YbL2907BopkexMJwAFR8WdZojMJCmC1 oauth_version=1.0 This results in the aforementioned error. Am I suppose to use a different URL when I encode it? I appreciate the assistance, this is my first time working with oAuth, and I am a still a bit fuzy.
[twitter-dev] Invalid signature when calling request_token
Hi, I'm porting my HTTP authentication based twitter client to OAuth, and am having problems constructing a signed call to request_token that twitter.com will accept. The OAuth implementation has successfully worked with two different sample servers and MySpace, so I don't think I'm hitting any underlying bugs in my code. That said, the OAuth specification skims over encoding so it's possible that there is an incompatibility. This is what happens: GET /oauth/request_token?oauth%5Fconsumer%5Fkey=sPHnVfjaW22jHcGYyHCFAoauth%5Fsignature=zRmErZcLje9Nns2VEtsyRwzztQE%3Doauth%5Fsignature%5Fmethod=HMAC%2DSHA1oauth%5Fnonce=1276674971oauth%5Ftimestamp=1242721670oauth%5Fversion=1%2E0 HTTP/1.1 Soup-Debug-Timestamp: 1242721670 Soup-Debug: SoupSessionAsync 1 (0x8f315b8), SoupMessage 1 (0x901d868), SoupSocket 1 (0x902f820) Host: twitter.com HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized Soup-Debug-Timestamp: 1242721670 Soup-Debug: SoupMessage 1 (0x901d868) Date: Tue, 19 May 2009 08:27:51 GMT Server: hi Last-Modified: Tue, 19 May 2009 08:27:51 GMT Status: 401 Unauthorized Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, pre-check=0, post-check=0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 44 Expires: Tue, 31 Mar 1981 05:00:00 GMT X-Revision: 0056844fe50774f758d59f4d2931e6b31ccbf68f X-Transaction: 1242721671-71519-1029 Set-Cookie: _twitter_sess=BAh7BzoHaWQiJTkxZTYyNWM2OWMxZWIwMGE3MDczYTI1MTUzMjIwNDE2Igpm %250AbGFzaElDOidBY3Rpb25Db250cm9sbGVyOjpGbGFzaDo6Rmxhc2hIYXNoewAG %250AOgpAdXNlZHsA--32fb8d8fe9b5a3845060194eb2160f14fe9114c8; domain=.twitter.com; path=/ Vary: Accept-Encoding Connection: close Failed to validate oauth signature and token Anyone got any good ideas?
