Authentication problems in httpy_api.py #4

Closed ahnugent closed 7 years ago

ahnugent commented 7 years ago

When I run httpy_api.py I get a long list of exceptions that I think are coming from incorrect authentication. The readme.md file says to set LINKEDIN_API_KEY and LINKEDIN_API_SECRET, but the LinkedIn Developers page does not seem to use these, but rather Client ID and Client Secret. If I insert print functions in httpy_api.py after liw = LinkedInWrapper() I find that liw.API_KEY and liw.API_SECRET are both None.

Here is a sample of the error traceback:

I will try to have a look by tonight (Europe time). Did you have modified the code by any way @ahnugent ? And you're correct about Client/API token ;) It's because, LinkedIn API switched to OAuth2 while keeping the possibility for OAuth1

My only mods have been the print() statements following the instantiation of liw as a LinkedInWrapper object. Thanks!

@ahnugent : I think the problem comes from your side, are you sure you use an up to date python 3 ?

I will release a new version of the API in the afternoon and update the examples to make them more clear regarding your remarks.

Edit:

@ahnugent maybe the the PR #6 goes toward solving your issues. Can you check and close this issue if it's okay

DEKHTIARJonathan commented 7 years ago

Without any answer I close this issue

ahnugent commented 7 years ago

Sorry, mate. My window of opportunity to work on that project closed and I haven't had a chance to return to it.

Thanks for your patience.
