Answer 1

The parameter_absent error means that you are not sending all of the required OAuth parameters to the endpoint. For the request token endpoint you need to insure that all of these parameters are present:

• oauth_consumer_key
• oauth_signature_method
• oauth_signature
• oauth_timestamp
• oauth_nonce

For the accessToken endpoint the following parameters are required:

• oauth_consumer_key
• oauth_signature
• oauth_signature_method
• oauth_token
• oauth_timestamp
• oauth_verifier
