Lindsey B (LindseyBieda) | 3 comments I had my code working a couple weeks ago and I finally got some time to get back to it and now I am getting a very odd response from POST requests to user_status.xml and add_to_shelf.xml it appears to just be the HTML for the sign up page.

I am authed and using the OAuth token. Was there some change in how these calls are made?

Louise (NakedSushi) | 21 comments There was a change on how we validate users using OAuth. I'll send you a private message and we can work thru it.

edit: actually, can't message you b/c of your privacy settings. Do you have trouble with other API calls or just those two?


message 3: by Lindsey (new)

Lindsey B (LindseyBieda) | 3 comments Just those two.

Louise (NakedSushi) | 21 comments Can you send me a private message (thru the Goodreads inbox at the top right) with the exact URL you're posting to? Also, try to do another post, and note the time you did the posts in the email. Thanks.

Casper Gasper (caspergasper) | 32 comments I'm also having problems with user_status.xml which redirects me to the signup page. This is new code so I initially thought I was doing something wrong, but I'm having a similar issue with code that used to work which I've reported here:
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/3743...

add_to_shelf.xml still works for me though.

Casper.

Piling on for this one. I have my oauth access token for a user, and I can modify the shelves for a book using add_to_shelf.xml. However, when I attempt to update status using user_status.xml I get a 401 Unauthorized error.

Casper Gasper (caspergasper) | 32 comments Adam, I see you're using signpost -- it's a bug in the library:

Adam (JadeMason) | 65 comments Thanks Casper! Looks like you hit that same bug and blazed the trail for me. Looks like the solution is to use the custom version of signpost attached to the thread (signpost-core-1.2.1.2.jar linked in the last message in the thread).
