Hi there,
I have a consumer key/secret for my app and I have access token and
secret for me, a user for this app. I am using signpost for my OAuth
implementation:
OAuthConsumer consumer = new DefaultOAuthConsumer(consumer_key,
consumer_secret);
consumer.setTokenWithSecret(access[0], access[1]);
Now if I open
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/somerandomusername.json
it works just fine. Of course, you don't need to be authorized to
access the timeline of some user, so this isn't a big deal. However,
when I dump the headers I see that my rate limit is 350, not 150:
debug: X-RateLimit-Limit: 350
and before I setup the OAuth properly I always was limited to 150. So
that leads me to believe that I am authorized.
However, if I try to access
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json
with those same credentials, I get
Status: 401 Unauthorized
So am I authorized or am I not authorized!?
Maybe it means that I was properly identified as an application, but
that the access token/secret to not a valid user make? So it gave me
the API rate limits but not the actual authorization needed to fulfill
the request?
