API key not working

[Priyanshu]

Hi,

I have been trying to use Slideshare API for last few hours but
constantly getting "Failed API Validation" error, I also tried
Slideshare Java library and also the webtoolkit upload sample here but
all of them gave the same error.

Could anybody help me out that what could be wrong with my key/secret.
It has just been mailed to me few hours ago.

Regards,
Priyanshu

Hi,

Are you sure about the validation error? Please check here whether your api key is working or not once again http://slideshare-developers.googlegroups.com/web/Slideshare+Upload+Sample+Code.zip . If it doesn't please report it to a...@slideshare.com. They will help you fixing it right away.

I'm getting the same problem. Last week it was working fine this week
it is not working at all. My key/secret appears to be working with
version 1 but not with version 2 as i tried the above example and it
worked fine and that uses version 1

Actually its working fine for me. Please try with this php file. Just add your api and secret key.

I've actually got it working with PSOT and API Version 2 now. Jsut everytime i try and use GET and get slideshow info it now says my api key is not valid. so annoying i ahd this wokring the other day.

Actually this php code to get slideshow info works perfectly for me.

<?php

$ts=time();
$secret='your secret key';
$hash=sha1($secret.$ts);
$key='your api key';
$apiurl='http://www.slideshare.net/api/2/';
$slideid='774298';
$slideshow_url='http://www.slideshare.net/alihadi/corporate-fear-of-social-medi';
$method = 'get_slideshow';
$location = $apiurl.$method."?api_key=".$key."&ts=".$ts."&hash=".$hash."&slideshow_url=".$slideshow_url;
header("Location: $location ");

?>

Hi Sri,

Yes I am sure about the validation error. I have checked it again and
again and it's not working at all, neither with my program nor with
Slideshare Java wrapper.
I have also tried the Webkit you are referring and the php code given
by you and it's still giving me the same error.

I reported that to api@slideshare on friday only but haven't got any
reply yet :-(

Priyanshu
