hi!

i'm trying to implement oauth dance with foursquare.com but for some
reason it has failed for past couple of hours.
i get error 500 with nice image but i just can't get it - is it my
fault or is there truely something wrong with foursquare.
i also can't find any heartbeat or status monitor for foursquare
services so it's even harder for me to debug :(

best regards,
kalle

Same for me.

I try to implement it with the PHP EpiFoursquare classes but i only
get this error 500.

Any idea ?

Could you send a small code sample which duplicates the problem (include all files necessary to run the code)?

You can send to me privately: jon at foursquare

HI,

Hard to do really, since it's an iPhone app which utilises Appcellerator's Titanium to use JavaScript OAuth libraries, which work perfectly with Twitter's OAuth/xAuth API.

I could send you the signed POST query which fails with the 500 error if that will help.

thx

(btw: I see I'm not alone in seeing 500 errors since yesterday)

For my part I follow this "how to" step by step :

http://www.joesiewert.com/2010/04/how-to-use-the-foursquare-api-with-oauth-and-php/

I alway got an uncaught exception
'EpiOAuthException' (EpiOAuthResponse->__get('oauth_token')). It's
raised because there is a code "500" error

Just thought I'd throw a 'me too' into the pile. I'm following the
step-by-step instructions from Joe Siewert's blog and am getting the
500 error code.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one!

Hi all,

Thanks for your feedback and apologies for the problems.

There was a data consistency bug that affected recently created consumers.

We've fixed the problem, so please confirm and let us know if you see any additional issues.

All sorted here too.

Finally got a status 200 response and the required outh_token and oauth_token_secret info.

thx!

I am still getting this error: Uncaught exception
'EpiOAuthUnauthorizedException'

Following the step-by-step instructions from Joe Siewert's blog also.

It used to work a few weeks ago but now doesn't and hasn't cleared up
for me as it seems to have for others. Any thoughts anyone?

I should add to the last message I sent that the example works here:
http://catherinecolman.com/test/index.php

but not here: http://sites.asiasociety.org/yoshitomonara/foursquaretest/index.php
even though the only thing I have changed is the key and secret to
match the one assigned to me on foursquare for each "application"

Are you pulling a new "oauth_token" each time you're putting together
the login/authenticate link to foursquare.com ?

I'm using the same oauth API as Joe Siewert and it's working just fine
over here.

Hello,

I too am consistently seeing the "Uncaught exception
'EpiOAuthUnauthorizedException'" message during the authentication
process (after being redirected to my callback page). It is
accompanied by "EpiOAuthException::raise(Object(EpiCurlManager),
false)" and "EpiOAuthResponse->__get('oauth_token')". Like others, I
am using the foursquare-async library.

I have been attempting to authenticate for several days, but continue
to encounter this exception. Does anyone have any suggestions
regarding troubleshooting this issue?

Thanks,
Kevin

I am using the same oauth_token but even when I pull in a new one each
time, it doesn't work. The thing that makes no sense to me is that it
works on one server using an older account but not on another server
using a newer account.

What could be the problem? Does anyone know?
