How do I get the access_token from tumblr's official php client?
oauth, php, tumblr
Solution
You're pretty close, you just are passing the oauth_token incorrectly in the last step, and skipping out on oauth_token_secret altogeter.
I've compiled this working code (which you can also now find posted on the Wiki at https://github.com/tumblr/tumblr.php/wiki/Authentication):
<?php
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
// some variables that will be pretttty useful
$consumerKey = '<your consumer key>';
$consumerSecret = 'your consumer secret>';
$client = new Tumblr\API\Client($consumerKey, $consumerSecret);
$requestHandler = $client->getRequestHandler();
$requestHandler->setBaseUrl('https://www.tumblr.com/');
// start the old gal up
$resp = $requestHandler->request('POST', 'oauth/request_token', array());
// get the oauth_token
$out = $result = $resp->body;
$data = array();
parse_str($out, $data);
// tell the user where to go
echo 'https://www.tumblr.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=' . $data['oauth_token'];
$client->setToken($data['oauth_token'], $data['oauth_token_secret']);
// get the verifier
echo "\noauth_verifier: ";
$handle = fopen('php://stdin', 'r');
$line = fgets($handle);
// exchange the verifier for the keys
$verifier = trim($line);
$resp = $requestHandler->request('POST', 'oauth/access_token', array('oauth_verifier' => $verifier));
$out = $result = $resp->body;
$data = array();
parse_str($out, $data);
// and print out our new keys
$token = $data['oauth_token'];
$secret = $data['oauth_token_secret'];
echo "\ntoken: " . $token . "\nsecret: " . $secret;
// and prove we're in the money
$client = new Tumblr\API\Client($consumerKey, $consumerSecret, $token, $secret);
$info = $client->getUserInfo();
echo "\ncongrats " . $info->user->name . "!\n";
Problem
I've followed the directions posted in this stackoverflow question, but I am stuck. I am using tumblr/tumblr.php from Github (the official "PHP client for the tumblr API"). I am also following directions here (which are actually for twitter), but those directions aren't tailored for the git library I am using. I have a valid consumer key and secret. From those I make a request and get oauth_token and oauth_token_secret like so: ``` $client = new Tumblr\API\Client($consumerKey,$consumerSecret); $client->getRequestHandler()->setBaseUrl('https://www.tumblr.com/'); $req = $client->getRequestHandler()->request('POST', 'oauth/request_token', [ 'oauth_callback' => '...', ]); // Get the result $result = $req->body->__toString(); print_r( $result ); ``` Which gives me: ``` oauth_token=2C6f...MqSF&oauth_token_secret=HaGh...IJLi&oauth_callback_confirmed=true ``` Then I send the user to the http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=2C6f...MqSF, so they can allow access for the app. This redirects to: `...?oauth_token=2C6f...MqSF&oauth_verifier=nvjl...GtEa#_=_` And now in the final step I believe I am supposed to convert my request token to an access token. Is that right? I am doing something wrong: ``` $client = new Tumblr\API\Client($consumerKey,$consumerSecret); $client->getRequestHandler()->setBaseUrl('https://www.tumblr.com/'); $req = $client->getRequestHandler()->request('POST', 'oauth/access_token', [ 'oauth_token' => '2C6f...MqSF', 'oauth_verifier' => 'nvjl...GtEa' ]); // Get the result $result = $req->body->__toString(); print_r( $result ); ``` because I get responses like this one: ``` oauth_signature [AqbbYs0XSZ7plqB0V3UQ6O6SCVI=] does not match expected value [0XwhYMWswlRWgcr6WeA7/RrwrhA=] ``` What is wrong with my last step? I am not sure if I should even be sending `oauth_verifier` with the request. Is `#_=_` supposed to be part of `oauth_verifier`? I wouldn't think so. I get signature errors for all the variations Ive tried. Without the token and tokenSecret I can't make certain calls to the API. I get unauthorized 403 responses. Same when I use the token and token_secret from the second step. I'm pretty sure I need a new token/secret pair.
