03/20/2023, 7:57 PMwhatever you are using for oauth 1 is likely not taking into account url parameters

03/20/2023, 8:04 PMThat seems to be the case. I'm using libraries for the hashing and encoding but am constructing the base string myself. I know that the oauth parameters need to be sorted and believe the url parameters are also added and sorted. Trying to find documentation to confirm that.

03/20/2023, 8:20 PMThanks for the link. That at least confirms the base string uri shouldn't include the url parameters. Still looking through to see what I'm missing.

03/20/2023, 8:49 PM@battk that seems to have done the trick. I was using the complete URL with parameters rather than just the base URL. Thanks for the link to the details.

04/24/2023, 12:18 PMim using oauth 1.0 as well for authentication.... if i add the offset and limit parameters in my postman endpoint i get a response, but in my python requests lib request, im getting an invalid login error, yet if i remove the parameters from the base_url variable using same technique i get a successfull response.... what could i be doing wrongly?

04/24/2023, 11:00 PM@wilberforce wairagu ultimately my issue was related to how I was constructing the signature. Specifically I was using the full URL with parameters included rather than just the base URI. It was a mistake made as I coded all the authentication myself. I could have saved a lot of time using an established library but didn't realize that until I was almost done.

04/25/2023, 12:34 AMUhmm okaay... i've also written all the authentication function by myself... i have a get_signature function which i've tried using my base_url with and without parameters. it fails when i include the parameters... the nonce function which together with the get signature functions are being used in the create my authentication headers in the createheader function.
here is a link to my script: https://github.com/willywairagu/suitetalk_auth
