REST API, regarding 403 error code?

Question

We are posting Tweets to multiple accounts from same IP address using software application. And in response from twitter , we are getting 403 error code, API used by us is R

Answer 1

if you are using twitter4j.properties, you can also set it there. http.useSSL=true

Answer 2

api.twitter.com now requires SSL/TLS for all connections as of today(14th jan2014)

ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();

cb.setUseSSL(true);

Put these above lines of code where you are making a call to twitter.

It works...

Answer 3

If it is a recent error (since Jan 14th) you can try to add this:

ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
cb.setUseSSL(true); // <======== set use SSL

Twitter added a requirement on January 14th to use SSL/HTTPS when using their API.

The above code fixed it for me.

Answer 4

If this is the exception that is being thrown and if you read the error it says:

This code is used when requests are being denied due to update limits.
