OAuth API now broken

[Kiwidude]

As of a few days ago at least I have had users having problems authenticating, and trying it myself I now get the same issues. This is on code that has been working perfectly fine untouched for the last year or so.

Attempting to retrieve the token/secret key from:
http://www.goodreads.com/oauth/access...

now returns with a 404 error.

In addition it is failing to bring up the authenticate page, when I open it in the browser using this:
http://www.goodreads.com/?oauth_token...

Do some servers need a kick in the teeth on the goodreads side? Or has something been changed that hasn't been communicated here that I have seen?

I'll get someone to look into this first thing tomorrow.

Thanks Michael, appreciate it. I have been bouncing the users to Goodreads support and so far none have reported getting a response so the natives are all a bit restless :)

We just released a fix for this issue. Please let us know, if this continues to happen.

Thanks for the quick turnaround guys, it worked rather more successfully for me this morning.

I see no-one has responded to my other thread I created about another bug slightly related to this that is here:
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

The problem still exists - when you list what applications you have authorised on the webpage it says "no application", but when you revoke access, it actually puts the full name that I would expect on that page...

We'll try and check that out soon, thanks.

Hi there.

I posted this under questions but am hoping I could get a better audience here:

I am having trouble getting the access token after authorizing. I am doing what another person did in another post (http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/3...

I am failing at client.request(access_token_url, 'POST'), where I get Exception: Invalid response: 401

Here the access_token_url is http://www.goodreads.com/oauth/access...

Could someone please advise on how to get access token? Is it broken? Thanks in advance!

Xuefan, please check the update on the other thread.
