What I am trying to do: Connect to the Tumblr API v2 via PHP and be able to create new posts
The problem: The API response is always something similar to Invalid OAuth credentials. Unable to get info
The strange part is that I am able to connect to the API (http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2) with no problems when I do a GET request but there must be something I must be doing wrong with my signature when I try to create a POST.
Here is my code:
$params = array("type" => "quote", "quote"=>"test" );
$consumer = new OAuthConsumer($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, null);
$token = new OAuthConsumer($access_token['oauth_token'], $consumer_secret);
$req_req = OAuthRequest::from_consumer_and_token($consumer, $token,
"POST", 'http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/MY_URL/post', $params);
$req_req->sign_request(new OAuthSignatureMethod_HMAC_SHA1(),
$consumer, $token, null);
$result = $req_req->to_postdata();
$ch = curl_init('http://www.tumblr.com/api/write');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.tumblr.com/api/write');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $result);
A var_dump of $result echoes the following
oauth_consumer_key=xxxxxxxx&oauth_nonce=xxxxxxx&oauth_signature=xxxxxx
&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1325033502&oauth_token=xxxxxx
&oauth_version=1.0"e=test&type=quote
I am not sure the curl_init must be calling http://www.tumblr.com/api/write but I also tried with api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/{base-hostname}/post with no luck
I also checked all the variables to see if the tokens are OK and they seem to be working fine.
Any hint in the right direction will be appreciated as I have went to page 30 of Google and I just see people with the same issue as myself.
I've been having success with this library, which was written around a year ago.
I checked the dump of the result before the curl and it looks more or less the same as yours, so i'm not sure what the difference is.

I am working with rest API. I am using zoho API's for making calls. Working in yii2 I am trying to call a GET API which gives me some details about my project.
/* Set the Request Url (without Parameters) here */
$request_url = 'https://projectsapi.zoho.com/restapi/portal/[PORTALID]/projects/[PROJECTID]/bugs/defaultfields/';
$ch = curl_init($request_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('authtoken' => 'key')); // here i am using key but in actual i am putting the real key value
$curl_response = curl_exec($ch);
$json = json_decode($curl_response);
var_dump($json);
exit();
Accessing it via POSTMAN when I run this call it gives me NULL in response. I have also tried out the way mentioned in the PHP Example here. But it doesn't work out for me as well.
I must be missing something that I don't know.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Try checking your headers and make sure you're passing through all the required fields for an example authorization, content type etc.
I've been struggling with this for a while now and still could not find a clear guide to do this.
If I want to make requests to Instagram API using cURL, I do it like this:
<?php
$url = "https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/?access_token=MY_TOKEN";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>
It works fine, but it's a bit insecure and thats why I'd like to do it with signed request, which uses this sig-parameter.
Now, I can easily create that sig-parameter(signature key) using the code found from here, but how to use that signature with PHP?
I'm totally confused.
The answer is hinted at Instagram's documentation page. Still this is how I did:
Use the generate signature php function mentioned there to generate $sig.
Attach it to your endpoint using http_build_query() like this:
$endpoint = "https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/";
$secured_get_fields = array(
"access_token" => $access_token,
//other get fields as required
"sig" => $sig
);
$api_url = $endpoint . "?" . http_build_query($secured_get_fields);
Call with this $api_url
Hope it helps!
We are trying to post from PHP to a Facebook, we are using HybridAuth but the question is not related to it.
What works:
-posting to user profile, works fine,including when using picture and link
-posting to page works including image(but not with link)
What does not work
-posting to page when we set a link(the url is not the issue since it works posting it to user profile )
The error is a generic error, that is not helping at all,thank you Facebook developers for giving us the trouble of guessing what is wrong
{"error":{"message":"An unknown error has occurred.","type":"OAuthException","code":1}}
I also made a simple script using curl to test this without involving the HybridAuth code and I get same error
<?
$access_token = "xxxxxx";
$page_id="352300454896456";
$msg = "test message ".time();
$title = "test title";
$uri = "http://www.example.com";
$desc = "test description";
//$pic = "http://ploscariu.com/simion/programming/kudani/kudani.png";
$attachment = array(
'access_token' => $access_token,
'message' => $msg,
'name' => $title,
'link' => $uri,
'description' => $desc//,
//'picture'=>$pic,
//'actions' => json_encode(array('name' => $action_name,'link' => $action_link))
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://graph.facebook.com/'.$page_id.'/feed');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $attachment);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); //to suppress the curl output
$result = curl_exec($ch);
print_r($result);
curl_close($ch);
?>
My question is, what is special about this "link" parameter and page posting? do we need some undocumented permission ? or is just some graph API bug I am wondering if we need sme different token for posting links ,but usually permission issue get back a good error message
in the image is the debug tool results on the access_token I get from the HybridAuth call, I tested using a short access token I get using JS API and posting with that works, but short access token are not a solution
Is the information in the image, about the token that it never expires true? How can I get such a token using the http API and curl(no SDKs)
I found the issue, it was the access_token, I know it makes no sense that it worked without the link parameter but with the link parameter did not worked, but this is the truth. So you need to make sure you get the page access_token, you get that from me/accounts or with your SDK.
The conclusion is that the Facebook developers are doing a bad job, wrong error messages, and allowing to post with wrong token.
I'm trying to create an application on LinkedIn that's using OAuth2 for authentication and am running into some errors. The client runs on an iOS device and uses an oAuth library to make a call to LinkedIn's servers. My iOS client successfully gets the authorization_code. The client application then passes that authorization_code to my server, which attempts to connect to linkedIN again and get the access_token. This step consistently fails, I get the following error from LinkedIn: {"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"missing required parameters, includes an invalid parameter value, parameter more than once. : client_id"}
My POST method to LInkedIN does contain the client_id, it only contains it once, and I've triple checked the values for all the parameters, they are correct. I've also reset the access multiple times from https://www.linkedin.com/secure/settings and I've even created additional applications on LinkedIn, I keep getting the same result.
I've checked other responses, such as this one: unable to retrieve access token linkedin api and tried the suggestions: revoke keys, request new keys etc, nothing seems to be working.
Here is my server code:
$tokenURL = 'https://www.linkedin.com/uas/oauth2/accessToken';
$redirectURL = 'https://staging.textsuggestions.com';
$clientId = '75a4ezqh741sup';
$clientSecret = 'XXXXXXXX';
$tokenArguments = array("grant_type" => "authorization_code",
"code" => $code,
"redirect_uri" => $redirectURL,
"client_secret" => $clientSecret,
"client_id" => $clientId);
// send the request to the server getting data
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $tokenURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $tokenArguments);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
curl_close($ch);
if (!empty($response["error"])) {
error_log("Error is: " . $response["error"]);
exit (0);
} else {
// no error, get the access_token and do stuff with it
$timeout = $response["expires_in"];
$access_token = $response["access_token"];
}
Ok I realized what I was doing wrong, the client application library that I was using was generating the full access token (not the auth code). So I was trying to pass in the access token in the place of the auth code. The error that I was getting from Linked In was certainly misleading and I should have checked the client library I was using more carefully.
Have you tried to check your code against this code sample?
https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/code-samples
Check that the POST headers include "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
I am new to APIs and I am having trouble updating the status of issues. I have successfully listed projects and issues but not sure how to update them. I am using PHP to access the API. Can some one please share some example in php to how to update an issue using json. I have read the API documentation but its too minimal. I am not familiar with PUT and I cant find any good example or tutorial on the internet. Thankyou!
This what I tried but didnt work
function update_issue($issue_id){
// set url
$planio_url = "http://something.plan.io/issues/".issue_id.".json?key=185f1edsadfsdafy86578ce82ea70a0eb4267";
// create curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
$data = '{"issue":{"status":{"name":"done","id":21},"notes":"closing all old issues"}}';
$data = json_decode($data);
$ch = curl_init($planio_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,http_build_query($data));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
if(!$response) {
return false;
}else{
return $response;
}
}
Returns empty response.
For everybody who wants to copy the snippet above. to update a ticket (like i did)
The URL in $planio_url is missing a $
..issues/".issue_id.".json
must be:
issues/".$issue_id.".json
also i decoded the json with true as second parameter to get an array for http_build_query
works like a charm.
