[twitter-dev] 403 error's while debugging a windows service
I'm trying to debug a windows service that post to twitter via the TwitterVB .net library, every time I try and post to it I receive a 403 reply. The API doc's say 403 is 403 Forbidden: The request is understood, but it has been refused. An accompanying error message will explain why. This code is used when requests are being denied due to update limits. Can I assume from that, that the oAuth login is OK but their is a problem with the request? I don't think it a rate limiting issue, as the service is only trying to post once every few minutes.

[twitter-dev] oAuth passthrough
I'm sure this has been asked thousands of time, but I can't locate where so I'll ask it anyway. I'm in the early stages of implementing a web app which uses Twitter (and Facebook) as authorising agents for the user to login. There is currently (currently in the design) no direct user login (i.e. no username/password combo for my site) just authorisation via the two largest social media sites. This is done in order to simplify the sign-up process (three click and your signed-up one and your logged in, and no additional password to remember) and add to the sites security (fb and twitter's security system is better then I could design). As I say I'm in the early stages, but I thought it's prudent to think ahead and so I was brainstorming an API (what data could I expose to third parties, could I take payments/sales and make payments etc.) and hit a snag. Since I'm not allowing users to have their own passwords for the site and all logins are via oAuth (I don't know if FB call it oAuth, but the workflows the same) how do I allow third parties to log users in? I can't provide them my tokens (Even I'm not that insane), and I've got a feeling using my server as an proxy to pass the oAuth data back and forward would be against the rules (or just not work) as it feels like something I would ban to prevent phishing. So how do I allow users to login to my site via twitter (and for a bonus point facebook) using third party apps (mobile, desktop, web etc.) Thanks in advance -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk

Thanks that looks exactly like what i was looking for On Apr 26, 9:32 pm, Taylor Singletary taylorsinglet...@twitter.com wrote: Hi Scott, There's an extension to OAuth that our team developed for this purpose -- while it's not incredibly wide-spread, it's a viable way to defer credentials. Check outhttp://dev.twitter.com/pages/oauth_echo-- the docs are very Twitter-centric in this case, but the model can really be generalized to any API that has a distinct credential validation method (and even if it doesn't, you can piggy-back onto an alternate method). @episod http://twitter.com/episod - Taylor Singletary On Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 1:01 PM, Scott Herbert scott.a.herb...@googlemail.com wrote: I'm sure this has been asked thousands of time, but I can't locate where so I'll ask it anyway.
