How to call Twitter v1.1 API in javascript using AJAX
ajax, oauth, twitter
Solution
The problem is your request's header, it should be like this:
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization','OAuth oauth_consumer_key="HdFdA3C3pzTBzbHvPMPw", oauth_nonce="4148fa6e3dca3c3d22a8315dfb4ea5bb", oauth_signature="uDZP2scUz6FUKwFie4FtCtJfdNE%3D", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_timestamp= "1359955650", oauth_token, "1127121421-aPHZHQ5BCUoqfHER2UYhQYUEm0zPEMr9xJYizXl", oauth_version="1.0"');
Btw, this javascript library might help you on OAuth's stuff: oauth-1.0a
It support both client side and node.js
Cheers
Problem
Aim - to get the twitter followers of a particular user using javascript I have tried the below code as a POC- ``` $(document).ready(function() { // Handler for .ready() called. $.ajax({ url: "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/ids.json?callback=?", type: "GET", data: { cursor: "-1", screen_name: "twitterapi" }, cache: false, dataType: 'json', success: function(data) { alert('hello!'); console.log(data);}, error: function(html) { alert(html); }, beforeSend: setHeader }); function setHeader(xhr) { if(xhr && xhr.overrideMimeType) { xhr.overrideMimeType("application/j-son;charset=UTF-8"); } //var nonce = freshNonce(); //var timestamp = freshTimestamp(); //var signature = sign(nonce,timestamp); //alert(signature); //alert(accessToken+"-"+consumerKey); //alert(oauth_version+"-"+oauth_signature_method); xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization','OAuth'); xhr.setRequestHeader('oauth_consumer_key', 'HdFdA3C3pzTBzbHvPMPw'); xhr.setRequestHeader('oauth_nonce', '4148fa6e3dca3c3d22a8315dfb4ea5bb'); xhr.setRequestHeader('oauth_signature','uDZP2scUz6FUKwFie4FtCtJfdNE%3D'); xhr.setRequestHeader('oauth_signature_method', 'HMAC-SHA1'); xhr.setRequestHeader('oauth_timestamp', '1359955650'); xhr.setRequestHeader('oauth_token', '1127121421-aPHZHQ5BCUoqfHER2UYhQYUEm0zPEMr9xJYizXl'); xhr.setRequestHeader('oauth_version', '1.0'); } }); ``` I calculated the signature values from the Twitter OAuth tool .. This gives me 400 Bad Request error .... Please let me know what the problem is...
