Applying the API instructions in KNIME

KNIME Analytics Platform

Hi Badger,

thanks for the feedback!

  • I keyed in my API & Secret Keys, and proceeded with the Authorize button. But nothing occurred. (No browser window pops out)

  1. Currently some errors are logged to the console*, but might be filtered out if your log level is too high. You can enable DEBUG logging and probably see some helpful output in the console.

  2. If you’d see the DEBUG log, I’d highly suspect that you’ll see something like this along the lines:

    response body: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><errors><error code="417">Desktop applications only support the oauth_callback value 'oob'</error></errors>

  3. If that’s the case, you’ll need to set up “User authentication set up” in your Twitter project:

    image

    The crucial part is to supply the “Callback URI / Redirect URL” which must be exactly as follows (see node documentation):

    http://localhost:55931

I’m still collecting plenty of feedback for this node, so please do let me know if that helps!

Best,
Philipp

*) We’ll improve this in the next release to show a proper error dialog as console output usually just gets lost
