Connecting to the Twitter API to use in a Logic App gives "Create and authorize OAuth connection failed"

keef urquhart 15

Hi!

Recently noticed that my Twitter bot stopped on the 20th April, this was due to an error in the Twitter connector.

I created a new connection using "Use default shared application" but had the same problem.

I created my own Twitter app and used "Bring your own application" instead with the correct keys but still get the error "Create and authorize OAuth connection failed"

Is this because of recent changes to the Twitter API? Would love any tips on how to get my Logic App going again

Thanks!

Hey Sonny,

The original error (when the bot stopped working is)

{
  "status": 401,
  "message": "Exception of type 'Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.Common.ErrorHandling.CustomExceptions.ConnectorWebException' was thrown.\r\nclientRequestId: b16ae82f-d787-45be-a2dd-d4155c4465b7\r\nserviceRequestId: 25f247c0d2fedad9b38e7b28a19f9bb13634050c5110aebc959bce82df0a9edd",
  "error": {
    "message": "Exception of type 'Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.Common.ErrorHandling.CustomExceptions.ConnectorWebException' was thrown."
  },
  "source": "twitter-ase.azconn-ase-001.p.azurewebsites.net"
}

When I try to log in again I get the text I put in the message: "Create and authorize OAuth connection failed.". This happens no matter which authentication type I try. Is there a way to get a more detailed log for you?

Hi keef urquhart

I've managed to test it in my test lab, and fix the issue.

The problem lies with all the types of keys (I used my own app as the default wouldn't work at my end either). The Logic App Twitter Connector is asking for a 'Consumer Key' and 'Consumer Secret', however what you get when creating an app is a 'Client ID' and 'Client Secret'. This is necessary for the OAuth2 flow, however the Twitter Connector seems to still use the OAuth flow (so without the 2). Therefor you'll need other keys. When you go to the Developer Portal you can browse to your App, and then select the 'Keys and tokens' tab where you can click 'Regenerate' next to 'API Key and Secret'. This will provide you with a new 'Consumer Key' and 'Consumer Secret':

The newly provided keys can be added to your Logic App when choosing 'Bring your own application':

Then the connection should work. Please click "Accept answer" if you find this helpful. Feel free to drop additional queries in the comments below!

Hi @Sonny Gillissen

I have the same problem and the suggested doesn't work. After entering consumer Key/Secret and executing "Sign In" new browser window appears (pic.1). When "redirecting" is finished "connection failed" appears inside logic app step (pic.2).

Now it works. Clearing the browser cache helped.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing some solutions.
I have the same issue.
I followed the steps to regenerate the Consumer Keys and copy paste them in the specific fields.
I even refreshed and cleared the cache but still got same error message.
If I try a few more times, it tells me I have reached the max of connections.
I tried to change to another environment with a database but still not working.

Did it work for any of you so far ?
