Thank you, I was able to get the Hello World example working.

I am new to OAuth and web services in general, I hope you don’t mind some beginner questions.

When I go to twitter_connect I am of course redirected to api.twitter.com where I have to click to approve my app and then I get my oauth_token and oauth_verifier at my callback.

First question, it seems these two values are only good for posting my one Hello World tweet, is that correct? So, I need to go to twitter_connect and manually click approve for each tweet, right? My question is, how does this become automated or how can I always approve the app, basically get rid of that human click so my app is free to tweet away?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Brand new to CakePHP. Just walked through the blog and auth tutorials without any issues. I want to get basic Twitter OAuth working on a brand new CakePHP app and am having some serious issues.

I downloaded Neil’s plugin from here:

https://github.com/neilcrookes/CakePHP-Twitter-API-Plugin

And applied it here:

/app/plugins/twitter

Now what? How do add the “connect to Twitter” link on every page? What is the Twitter callback URL going to point to? How do I check whether or not a user has been connected, access user’s information?

Appreciate your help!

Thanks

My request looks like:
I have the oauth_token and oauth_token_secret from the previous request from the user
Array ( [method] => POST [uri] => Array ( [host] => api.twitter.com [path] => 1/statuses/update.json ) [auth] => Array ( [method] => OAuth [oauth_token] => xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [oauth_token_secret] => xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [oauth_consumer_key] => xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [oauth_consumer_secret] => xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ) [body] => Array ( [status] => Hello World ) )
response looks like {“request”:”\/1\/statuses\/update.json”,”error”:”Incorrect signature”}

As Jeff Spicoli would say; “Awesome, totally awesome!” I was able to follow Facebook’s API but got totally turned around on Twitter. Thanks for the great work.

Thanks for the extension! It’s very easy to use.

However, I am having one problem using this with Youtube; I am able to get the request token. But when trying to get access token in the request token callback function, it failed with an “invalid signature” (via HTTP GET).

My code do something like this:
…
…
$Http = new HttpSocketOauth();
$request = array(
‘uri’ => array(
‘scheme’ => ‘https’,
‘host’ => ‘www.google.com’,
‘path’ => ‘/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken’,
‘query’ => array(
‘scope’ => ‘http://gdata.youtube.com‘
)
),
‘method’ => ‘GET’,
‘auth’ => array(
‘method’ => ‘OAuth’,
‘oauth_consumer_key’ => Configure::read(‘oauth_key’),
‘oauth_consumer_secret’ => Configure::read(‘oauth_secret’),
‘oauth_token’ => $this->params['url']['oauth_token']
)
);
$response = $Http->request($request);

I looked at the YT doc but the code seems right to me. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
