How to make calls to Twitter API using Postman client

Question

I have followed the steps required to create a new application and getting consumer key, secret pairs and also the token access details. Now I would like to make calls to Tw

Answer 1

For me, Postman created 11 character Nonce. I got the correct Twitter API response with the 11 character Nonce.

Answer 2

After following the accepted answer, make sure there are no empty spaces at the end of the token/secret key. Otherwise, it will throw the same error Could not authenticate you.

Answer 3

You must not pick Add params to header (pick will failed) You don't need to care about Nonce

Answer 4

Add authorization data to "Request Headers"

Example Twitter API: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=snap

This will generate the Authorization header. Make sure this has been generated.

Result

[

Answer 5

I know this is old, but in case anyone is still facing this issue, the following steps worked for me:

1. In Authorization tab, select OAuth 1.0
2. Enter your consumer key, consumer secret, access token and access token secret
3. Enable “Add params to header” and “Auto add parameters”
4. Send the request

I hope that helps.
