Failure to authorize

Post by amyc1225 »

Submitted my logs #48613

Manually completed Auth key & tokens but failure to authorize.

Double checked by manually logging into apps.twitter.com, that was successful.

Suggestions?

I'm noticing the same kind of problems... Maybe Twitter changed something again?

Not only am I having problems with TD, my custom bot to post RSS tweets also found itself this morning with completely new API keys... Which made no sense at all. Curious what the next few days will bring!

I'm new to the program, and having the same issue here. Haven't even been able to try the functions yet because of this.

Can we get an admin to help here? I paid for this and have been unable to use it so far.

Martin will get to it, no doubt. He already told us in other posts how busy he'd be these 2 weeks; even feature requests are paused and backlogged.

Please be patient - I'll have to be too (and yes; it's annoying a.f.)

you created the APP API KEYS incorrectly. You didn't set the server URL

check the forum post guide and / or the video tutorial. IT should be called something like CALLBACK URL / SERVER URL.

Or get the program to create the keys for you
<hash>
<error>Desktop applications only support the oauth_callback value 'oob'</error>
<request>/oauth/request_token</request>
</hash>

Sorry: I thought this was for me - old remark: I'll check but as you know I haven't been adding accounts manually... Why would I?

Did you add that fake URL? It MUST begin with http://

I usually use backlink URL:
http://localhost.com

Submit logs again, but are your global keys created correctly?

As the issue was the API KEYS as created in apps.twitter.com, were not setup correctly.

IF you also setup your global keys in teh same way, they would have the same issue.
