I am trying to use the scribe oAuth plugin (in a grails environment). I am able to get the user to authorize my app and authenticate. I can then get the xml response. my question, though, is how do I re-query a users profile without having to have them re-authorize my app. Once they authorize it the first time, I capture their Token and Secret key. So, shouldn't I be able to re-query the profile (as long as they do not revoke their authorization.)? I was able to do this with the older version of the plugin. The problem is with creating a new token. I don't see a way to create the Authorization token without the Verifier and Request Token (which wont exist because my code is executing the query on their behalf, with their permission.)
If I try to create the token like this:
Token accessToken = new Token()
accessToken.secret="XXX"
accessToken.token = "YYY"
I get an initialization error.
I can't create it like this, because I dont have the Request token and verifier:
Token accessToken = service.getAccessToken(requestToken, verifier);
accessTokenSecret = accessToken.secret
accessTokenKey = accessToken.token
And If i dont have the access token object, I am unable to sign my request. The full code looks like this (assuming their is a request token and verifier)
OAuthService service=new ServiceBuilder()
.provider(LinkedInApi.class)
.apiKey(apiKey)
.apiSecret(apiSecret)
.build();
Verifier v = new Verifier(ver);
Token accessToken = service.getAccessToken(rt, v);
accessTokenSecret = accessToken.secret
accessTokenKey = accessToken.token
OAuthRequest request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.GET, apiUrl);
service.signRequest(accessToken, request);
Response response = request.send();
xmlString=response.getBody();
Thanks for your help jason
well, after some time, I got this to work:
public getProfileWithTokens(getAccessToken, getAccessTokenSecret){
Token newAccessToken = new Token(getAccessToken, getAccessTokenSecret);
String xmlString =""
OAuthService service=new ServiceBuilder()
.provider(LinkedInApi.class)
.apiKey(apiKey)
.apiSecret(apiSecret)
.build();
OAuthRequest request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.GET, apiUrl);
service.signRequest(newAccessToken, request);
Response response = request.send();
xmlString=response.getBody();
}
