Mitch Anderson (tmanderson) | 5 comments I've posted this in the 'bugs' thread as well, but there's not much activity there...so I'm trying this here (sorry, mods - yes, you can delete whichever you deem is in the wrong category).

I'm getting a 500 error with the following request (key information has been replaced with 'xxxx'):

Below is the method, API endpoint, the Authorization header, and the POST body. As a sidenote, I've also tried this as plain HTTP with PLAINTEXT encoding, which did not work either. Also, if I don't send a POST body, but instead make those token params part of the Authentication data, I get a very vague 'Invalid OAuth Request' error. The request below is what results in a 500:

POST https://www.goodreads.com/oauth/acces...

Authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key="xxxx", oauth_nonce="xxxx", oauth_signature="xxxx", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_timestamp="1413406916", oauth_version="1.0"

oauth_token=xxxx&oauth_token_secret=xxxx

I am obtaining the oauth_token and oauth_token_secret values correctly via /request_token (which is the values above). It just seems like the /access_token endpoint is the bad one.

My first thought is that the /oauth/authorize redirect doesn't include an 'oauth_verifier' parameter, which is something that I believe is required...if not, then is there any idea as to why I'm getting a 500?

Developer Alf (developer-alf-test-account) | 3 comments Is this issue fixed? Same here there is no oauth verifier returned in the parameter on callback, So there's no way for me to generate access tokens
