Error Unauthorized

Hi there,

I am stuck on this for past 3 days and could not get it to work. angry.gif I could get this through for LinkedIn though. smile.gif

Everytime I try to get the request token I get "Unauthorized" error message. I am not able to figure out why the request is Unauthorized!

Can anybody point me to what exactly is going wrong?

I am doing a POST request and my request body contains these parameters.

oauth_callback%3Dyconnect%253A%252F%252Fsuccess%26oauth_consumer_key%3DmyConsumerKey%26oauth_nonce%3D7815649%26oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1271401800%26oauth_version%3D1.0%26oauth_signature%3D34lHPl3BVRD66wHARAm9FAOjfyw%253d

just to make it work I tried different combinations and added "POST%26https%3A%2F%2Fapi.login.yahoo.com%2Foauth%2Fv2%2Fget_request_token%26" to the post but still fails.


Lemme know if anyone wants to see the code and i will put it here..

Thanks in advance...

  • Hi rock,

    What is your consumer key? Also by checking your POST content,
    it looks like at least the oauth_callback parameter is wrong.
    It must be "oob" or a valid URL.

  • Hi rock,

    Can you please send the complete request and response headers?
    We cannot tell easily what goes wrong without seeing them.

    We need information like the following:

    Hi there,

    Please see following information,
    Consumer Key:dj0yJmk9QUNLMjRPNXBJb2ZpJmQ9WVdrOVprWnlOMnh1TkdFbWNHbzlNVFExTXpRME16TTJNZy0t

    The signature is URL Encoded.
    Does the order of the Post Parameters matter?

  • Hi Nilesh,

    Your consumer key is registered not requiring user authentication, so the
    get_request_token call is not applicable here.

    If you need to access user data such as Yahoo! Updates, Status and etc,
    then please make sure your consumer key belongs to the OAuth applications
    category:
    https://developer.apps.yahoo.com/projects

    You'll have to register a new consumer key.

    Thanks,
