Twitter API oAuth (Error code 214: Bad authentication data)

Question

I am close to getting this to work with Microsoft Dynamics CRM application, However, I get Error code 214: Bad authentication data.:(

The request URL is: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=aspas10&since_id=342379690448805888

Authentication Header: OAuth oauth_nonce=”****”, oauth_signature_method=”HMAC-SHA1″, oauth_timestamp=”1372370208″, oauth_consumer_key=”*****”, oauth_token=”**********”, oauth_signature=”********”, oauth_version=”1.0″

My code includes:

request.Headers.Add(“Authorization”, authHeader); request.Method = “GET”; request.ContentType = “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”; var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); return response;

Any ideas where I am going wrong and why I am getting this error?

You're getting it because the authentication data is bad.

Can you please post the code of how are you getting the authHeader? I think the problem is there.

Also have a look at this example and make sure you have the same headers:

PS: Maybe is my proxy, but I can't navigate to https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=aspas10&since_id=342379690448805888

Hi Mario. It is exactly the same code you have written. :) Seems that the Twitter API v1 Retirement on 11th June messed up the plugin. I have changed the url from api.twitter.com/1.0 to api.twitter.com/1.1 and the url to use .json instead of .xml.... Any help will be appreciated. ;)
