Neil Bryson (neilbryson) | 2 comments Hello,

Is there a problem with the OAuth now ? Or do I need to wait before it works since I just created my developer API key ?

Whenever I redirect to the authorisation URI, it only tells me :
"There Was an Error with This Oauth Request

This is likely due to an expired request. Please notify the owner of the application if this error continues to happen."

It didn't even show the 'authorise access' page.

Here's my authorise URL :
https://www.goodreads.com/oauth/autho...

I use the same format with GitHub's OAuth and it works.

valid one is:
https://www.goodreads.com/oauth/autho...

Neil Bryson (neilbryson) | 2 comments Ah unfortunately, it isn't working on my side. I wanted to get the access token using my API key or client secret but I can't seem to find detailed information / documentation about it.

Oleg Linkin (maledictus) | 60 comments 3 steps:
1) get request token via https://www.goodreads.com/oauth/reque...
2) Give access to app via https://www.goodreads.com/oauth/autho..." + requestToken
requestToken - from step 1
3) After success on second step, call https://www.goodreads.com/oauth/acces... and you will get accessToken and accessTokenSecret in answer.

All request should be oauth signed according to oauth 1.0 specification.

I recommend you to use oauth1 library for your language
