How to get request_token using OAuth with twitter
11,053
Your problem is with the order of the parameters. The parameters for the base string need to be in order. If they are out of order, it will give you that error.
So your base string should be this...
GET&
http%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Foauth%2Frequest_token&
oauth_consumer_key%3D9cS99b2406CUpATOeggeA%26
oauth_nonce%3D56e66e9f8bd28b320f86a16407f9911d%26
oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26
oauth_timestamp%3D1267523137%26
oauth_version%3D1.0%26
oauth_callback%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fplayground.com
Notice that your "nonce" was not in the correct spot.
Also, normally, the "signature" parameter is appended to the end of the request URL.

I am using the following method URI to request token from twitter.
Note: here new lines are just for display purpose only.
http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token? oauth_consumer_key=9cS99b2406CUpATOeggeA& oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1& oauth_signature=3e18bafc4c4fd6b23f988bcd1a8c0ab2d65db784 oauth_timestamp=1267523137& oauth_nonce=56e66e9f8bd28b320f86a16407f9911d& oauth_version=1.0& oauth_callback=http://playground.com
But it gives error "Failed to validate oauth signature and token".
The base string I used to computer signature is as bellow:
GET& http%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Foauth%2Frequest_token& oauth_consumer_key%3D9cS99b2406CUpATOeggeA%26 oauth_signature_method%3DHMAC-SHA1%26 oauth_timestamp%3D1267523137%26 oauth_nonce%3D56e66e9f8bd28b320f86a16407f9911d%26 oauth_version%3D1.0%26 oauth_callback%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fplayground.com
Please correct me where am I making mistake.
