Twitter Add-in Error

R__CraigHolmes — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 18:12:30 GMT

I successfully had the Twitter add-in working on version 1700, couldn't get it to work on 1750 so I went back to 1700 and just continue to get "Sorry, the application could not access Twitter at this time. Please try again later."

I wonder if this is just coincidental to perhaps a rate limit from ip?

Fiddler doesn't really give me an error. Does the oauth key expire?

I managed to dig up a couple of possible errors in Fiddler:

WININET CACHE INFO ============
This URL is not present in the WinINET cache.

* Note: Data above shows WinINET's current cache state, not the state at the time of the request

and

ReadResponse() failed: The server did not return a response for this request.

So the Oauth key tied into AGX is not validating. How to I get a new one when I am not hosting the Twitter developed application? ESRI is.

Craig, we'll review it and post updated add-in if necessary. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Any movement on this?

Craig, I am checking on it. The person who is responsible for this add-in didn't have a chance to take a look at it.

Craig, we've checked add-in over here, and nobody had the issue logging in. Log into your account on twitter.com, check that you didn't revoke ArcGIS Explorer from your trusted application, and just make sure your credentials work on twitter as well. Hope it helps!

I am using add-in successfully on 1750:

No. That's just it. I get the attached...choose authorize and then Twitter just doesn't authorize AGX for me.

For those on the edge of your seats for a solution to this......

After some digging I found out that this is indeed a Twitter API issue not AGX.
My issues were actually 2 fold.

1.Twitter will not "always" allow an application access to an account once it has been revoked therefore you have to make a new Twit account.

2. The OAuth2 page was not using my default Chrome for the handshake but using a stone age IE6. Installing IE8 fixed that.

I am having this issue. My Twitter has authorized the use with Explorer. Every time I try and connect with Explorer it says Sorry the application is not available at this time and it says try again later. I have tried to use multiple machines but none work. What do I need to do?
