consumer_key_rejected

Hello, im testing the "Yahoo! Social SDK for PHP" and got stuck on the auth part.

here is the code im using:

==========================================
<?php
require("lib/Yahoo.inc");
$GLOBAL_YAHOO_LOGGER_DEBUG = true;
$GLOBAL_YAHOO_LOGGER_DEBUG_DESTINATION = "CONSOLE";
define('CONSUMER_KEY', "dj0yJmk9T29NUGVvaUMxM0R1JmQ9WVdrOVdVa3hhamRsTkc4bWNHbzlOakkxT1RreU5qQXgmcz1
jb25zdW1lcnNlY3JldCZ4PTA2");
define('CONSUMER_SECRET', "e9809bbc5e06ebd25986301cc8ee3388a32e92a5");
define('APPID', "YI1j7e4o");
$session = YahooSession::requireSession(CONSUMER_KEY,CONSUMER_SECRET,APPID);
?>
==========================================

which outputs the following:

Can you confirm the consumer key and shared secret? Generally, this means the consumer key you specified was invalid.

What do you mean with "confirm the key". I generated various keys and same result.

There is no need for the hostility mrbeefx. What Dustin was referring to was when you created your application you were given a series of keys. This error generally means there is a mismatch between the consumer key and secret keys you were given. Please check to make sure the consumer and secret keys that you are using from your application are correctly copied over.

Hi Floyd,

Can you please paste your consumer key here? We can check it from our side to see why it is invalid.

Hi Zwer,

You can see all your consumer keys from your YDN projects page:
https://developer.apps.yahoo.com/projects

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.

We don't have any console for you to test generation of credentials.
I would suggest you start from the Yahoo! Updates API demo
http://developer.yahoo.com/social/updates/demo.html

Once you have that working, then you can start building your applications
with the Yahoo! PHP SDK.

I have the same problem...

I made a simply auth script:
and output: consumer_key_rejected

I have try to rebuild the API Key and nothing...
I have the same response...

consumer_key_rejected

...

nothing to do?

This is the script

CODE

$urlBack="http://www.olo-service.com"; 
$api_key="############################################################################
################################";
$secret="########################################";
$callback="http://www.olo-service.com";

function getUniqueCode($length = "10") {
$code = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
if ($length != "") return substr($code, 0, $length); else return $code; } 
$nonce = getUniqueCode();

//Collect the neccesary variables and construct the API URL 
$url = "https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/get_request_token?"; 
$url.= "oauth_nonce=".$nonce; 
$url.= "&oauth_timestamp=".time(); 
$url.= "&oauth_consumer_key=".$consumer_key; 
$url.= "&oauth_signature_method=plaintext"; 
$url.= "&oauth_signature=".$secret."%26"; 
$url.= "&oauth_version=1.0"; 
$url.= "&xoauth_lang_pref=en-us"; 
$url.= "&oauth_callback=".$callback; 

//Make the API Call to Yahoo!
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo "<p style=\"font-size:10px; color:blue;\">responses: ".$response."</p>"; 
//$responses = explode("&", $response);

Hi,
I have the same problem too. I am using signpost java api.

String customerKey = "dj0yJmk9dmNqbk5Sa2VRaExLJmQ9WVdrOVRGbHdWREZUTmpRbWNHbzlPVGcwT1RjNE56WXkmcz1
jb25zdW1lcnNlY3JldCZ4PTcy";
String customerSecret = "5bed10dce546572901d6b267383a98436825c1f0";
OAuthConsumer consumer = new DefaultOAuthConsumer(customerKey, customerSecret);
String request_token_url = "https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/get_request_token";
String auth_token_url = "https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/request_auth";
String access_token_url = "https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/get_token";
OAuthProvider provider = new DefaultOAuthProvider(request_token_url, auth_token_url,access_token_url);
System.out.println("Fetching request token...");
String authUrl = provider.retrieveRequestToken(consumer, OAuth.OUT_OF_BAND);

Hi Yanping,

This is the command I tried:

wget -S -d 'https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth/v2/get_request_token' --post-data='oauth_callback=oob&oauth_consumer_key=dj0yJmk9dmNqbk5Sa2VRaExLJmQ9WVdrOVRGbHdWREZUTmpRbWNHbzlPV
GcwT1RjNE56WXkmcz1jb25zdW1lcnNlY3JldCZ4PTcy&oauth_nonce=nonce&oauth_signature=5bed10dce546572901d6b267383a98436825c1f0%26&oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT&oauth_timestamp=1271113563&oauth_version=1.0'

It returns me this following in the response body:

oauth_token=krf7zvx&oauth_token_secret=a1d0fdf7ba7e2dc155ae0d2685c86d731d624989&oauth_expires_in=3600&xoauth_requ
est_auth_url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.login.yahoo.com%2Foauth%2Fv2%2Frequest_auth%3Foauth_token%3Dkrf7zvx&oauth_callback
_confirmed=true

So your consumer key looks good. Can you please make sure that the call to the get_request_token
is HTTP POST, not HTTP GET? The latter has a limit on the URL length.

Hi Yu,
Finally I found the problem is in signpost library. it doesn't have call back method in the http header. it is removed for Twitter.
Once I uncomment the ccode, the response is 200. instead of 401.

Thanks,

The following is the code original in signpost:
public class AuthorizationHeaderSigningStrategy implements SigningStrategy {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

@Override
public String writeSignature(String signature, HttpRequest request,
RequestParameters requestParameters) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

sb.append("OAuth ");
if (requestParameters.containsKey("realm")) {
sb.append(requestParameters.getAsHeaderElement("realm"));
sb.append(", ");
}
if (requestParameters.containsKey(OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN)) {
sb.append(requestParameters.getAsHeaderElement(OAuth.OAUTH_TOKEN));
sb.append(", ");
}
// Twitter sends 401 when oauth_callback is passed in the Authorization
// header, so leave this blank for now
// if (requestParameters.containsKey(OAuth.OAUTH_CALLBACK)) {
// sb.append(requestParameters.getAsHeaderElement(OAuth.OAUTH_CALLBACK));
// sb.append(", ");
// }

Hi Yanping,

Thanks for the information. It is useful for other users of the
signpost library when they code for Yahoo! OAuth.

Hi gabrielem,

Your consumer key is registered as not requiring user authentication, so the
get_request_token call is not applicable here. That's why it is rejected.

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'd need to register a new consumer key.

Thanks,
Yu Wang

Hi all,

I am closing this topic. In case you see consumer key rejected in the
OAuth flow, please check your Projects list
https://developer.apps.yahoo.com/projects
and make sure that your consumer key belongs to the OAuth applications
category.

Thanks,
Yu Wang
