Hello there,
Here are a few things you can try:
* You shouldn't need the oauth_token parameter when requesting a
request token, so you can remove that.
* Make sure the oauth_nonce is a unique value (though we have a
specific error message for that).
* Also, always helpful, is letting us know what language, library
and version you are using (if any).
Thanks;

failed to validate signature and token. I am not sure what I am
missing, can someone please take a second look at the following and
let me know is missing?
