Url request toket not found

[doremon]

• Currently, our site can not use TripIt. Because when i request token to TripIt. we have error 404. ( https://api.tripit.com/oauth/request_token ). Any one help me check the reason why or talk to me how to fix. Thanks.

Hi @doremon,

Thanks for reporting this issue. We are currently investigating the issue. Will comment with any further updates on this.

Hi @doremon,

We have verified that TripIt's request_token endpoint is functioning correctly. To simplify the process of getting a valid OAuth 1.0 access token to makes calls against TripIt API, we highly recommend that you use our python SDK - https://github.com/tripit/python_binding_v1/

I will spell out the exact steps for you bellow:

Get a request token Request

$ python get_request_token.py https://api.tripit.com 40f9e72c1a0a587225b9c0b34765ca2989d156df <consumer_secret>

Response

{'oauth_token_secret': '<token_secret>', 'oauth_token': 'adb5d9d2fd95ee4ebf04fc9fce21a8cfacaa1b04'}

Authorize the request token

Take your web-browser to https://www.tripit.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=<oauth_token>&oauth_callback=<oauth_callback>

_Note about <oauth_token>: This is adb5d9d2fd95ee4ebf04fc9fce21a8cfacaa1b04 obtained in previous step_

_Note about <oauth_callback>: This is the callback URL that TripIt will use upon successful access token authorization. This parameter is optional if you associated a URL with your application when you registered it and obtained your OAuth consumer key and secret. If you supplied a URL when you registered the application, providing this request parameter will override that value. If neither the application URL is set nor the oauth_callback parameter is supplied the user will get an error when taken to the /oauth/authorize page and will be unable to authorize the access token. It is highly encouraged that you explicitly provide an oauthcallback URL when linking to the /oauth/authorize page. Providing this URL gives you the flexibility of defining a different URL that is associated with your action on which you can provide marketing text and a description of your application and what it does.

You may see a 404 in this step (we are working on getting it resolved), however your request token will actually be authorized.

Generate the access_token and token_secret Request

$ python get_authorized_token.py https://api.tripit.com 40f9e72c1a0a587225b9c0b34765ca2989d156df <consumer_secret> adb5d9d2fd95ee4ebf04fc9fce21a8cfacaa1b04 <token_secret>

Response

{'oauth_token_secret': '<authorized_token_secret>', 'oauth_token': '6959101cd76fbaca8a4032be2f9a5c50975045a4'}

Keep this access_token / token_secret pair safe somewhere in your config file or DB

Finally, you can call our API

Hi @doremon,

What are you specifying in &oauth_callback= ? I suggest that you specify the url with http or https in the url for example "http://www.google.com" instead of "www.google.com" Let us know if you are still not able to get it to work.

Thanks,

[doremon]

• Thanks for your reply. I'll check again and response soon

Hi! I run what @vsejpal suggest and i'm getting the following response:

<Response><Error><code>401</code><detailed_error_code>106.100000</detailed_error_code><description>invalid token key: <TOKEN_ID></description></Error></Response>

I tried run it via example.py or via postman but getting the same error. What am I doing wrong?

[vsejpal]

@thefishermanhacker - please confirm that you are passing in the actual access token in authorization header as opposed to the literal string "<TOKEN_ID>"?

What is the email address associated with your TripIt account, the one linked to your developer credentials?

[thefishermanhacker]

@vsejpal the email is thefishermanhackeryahoo [at] gmail.com I'm passing the token that i'm getting when running python get_request_token.py https://api.tripit.com

[aksharachaturvedi]

@doremon, @thefishermanhacker : Couple of questions for you, Does it used to work for you before ? if yes, when did it stopped working. Also if I may know were you using same process as vivek mentioned to get the token or you were getting token in some-other way.

Your response will help us in getting to the root cause. Thanks.

@zenachaturvedi @doremon I use it for the first time I try to get tokens in away the documents explain.

Hi @thefishermanhacker, I checked your app's traffic and found that you're trying to use the request token as an access token, effectively skipping steps 2 and 3 above. You'll need to take the request token you're using, have the user authorize that request token via oauth/authorize on the web, and then exchange that request token for an access token via oauth/access_token on the API. Then, you'll be able to make API requests using that access token.

Keep in mind that request tokens only last for five minutes; this can crop up as a "gotcha" when developing if you go grab a coffee or something!
