Getting Internal error when trying to authenticate

Hi Bob,

It looks like your consumer key has been deleted. Are you sure it is shown in
your projects list https://developer.apps.yahoo.com/projects?

Can you please try with a new consumer key? We'll also check why it doesn't
return an error like "consumer_key unknown" or "consumer_key deleted" message.

Thanks,

Hi Yu,

Yes, I had not changed my api and secret on my production web site. I am now getting a 401 error with parameters reproduced below:

Hi Bob,

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

Hi Yu,
This took care of the problem.
Thanks,
Bob

I'm getting a 401 error when trying to authenticate. I've tried creating a new project and have used both plain text and HMAC-SHA. I use the exact same code to authenticate with Twitter and it works fine.

Hi Anthony,

Can you please open a new topic since yours seems to different from Bob's
and his problem is resolved? Please also provide the complete response you
got from Yahoo! OAuth server.

If you have access to tool such as wget (http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/)
or curl (http://curl.haxx.se/), you can construct the post request
manually with either of the following commands:

wget -S -d https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/get_request_token --post-data="oauth_version=1.0&oauth_nonce=8c76a87ffd3e4f48b53ed4b669b0b35f&oauth_timestamp=1268432350&oauth_consumer_key=dj0yJmk9TUJETmxhUG9WbDlPJmQ9WVdrOWR6Um9kRkl3TXpRbWNHbzlNV
GszTVRBM05USXhOQS0tJnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmeD02MQ--&oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT&oauth_signature=821ce9362da7d3d441265e77469a1339c42097612526&oauth_callback=oob"

curl https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/get_request_token -d "oauth_version=1.0&oauth_nonce=8c76a87ffd3e4f48b53ed4b669b0b35f&oauth_timestamp=1268432350&oauth_consumer_key=dj0yJmk9TUJETmxhUG9WbDlPJmQ9WVdrOWR6Um9kRkl3TXpRbWNHbzlNV
GszTVRBM05USXhOQS0tJnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmeD02MQ--&oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT&oauth_signature=821ce9362da7d3d441265e77469a1339c42097612526&oauth_callback=oob" -v

Then you can copy the response over here.
