Can't get Information about the authenticating user: Not Authorized

[azhwani]

Hi everyone, JTumblr failled to get Information about the authenticating user! com.tumblr.jumblr.exceptions.JumblrException: Not Authorized at com.tumblr.jumblr.JumblrClient.user(JumblrClient.java:83) Thanks in advance.

@azhwani are you authenticating prior to making the API call(s)? If so can you provide the sample code minus your security credentials?

[azhwani]

@KevinTCoughlin yes I'm authenticating prior to making the API requests! This morning everything worked well but after about two hours it failled again when I tried to get my following list ! I think it is something related to API calls limit !!

[KevinTCoughlin]

Yea that's possible. Have you looked at the x_ratelimit_* headers returned?

[azhwani]

No I never heard about it but I will absolutely check this out ! can you give me some further information! Thanks @KevinTCoughlin I really appreciate your help!

@azhwani I actually just had this same issue. Clearing my cookies, regenerating my token in the API console, copying and running the sample code for /user/following returned the correct output.

Can you try the following:

• Clear your browser cookies
• Go to https://api.tumblr.com/console/calls/user/following for your app that is authenticated
• Copy the Java sample code (it will have your new generated tokens)
• Run it, it should work now

Here's my working code with the credentials removed:

final JumblrClient client = new JumblrClient("<token>", "<secret>");
client.setToken("<token>", "<secret>");

try {
    final List<Blog> blogs = client.userFollowing();
    blogs.size();
    // 20 
} catch(JumblrException e) {
    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

Hi @KevinTCoughlin I tried everything u said but I still having same issue ! i run you sample code with new generated tokens and it does not work!

[KevinTCoughlin]

Are you using the correct tokens when instantiating your Jumblr client? I successfully got my following list using the above code when I used tokens that I had authorized for my blog.

final JumblrClient client = new JumblrClient("consumer_key", "consumer_secret");
client.setToken("oauth_token", "oauth_token_secret");

Make sure your consumer keys are first, then OAuth tokens for the blog you authorized in the following setToken call. I'm fairly certain this is an auth issue on your end because I was able to get it to work.

[KevinTCoughlin]

Closing this issue as I was unable to reproduce the error and could correct retrieve my authenticated blog's following list. @azhwani if this continues to happen I suggest opening a thread in the Tumblr API Google Group.

[KevinTCoughlin]
