Hi
I was able to use all Social APIs including GET STATUS API. But for setting the status, when i use PUT Method, it says please provide valid credentials.
Kindly explain what could be the problem. I'm passing all the Oauth Parameters required but still don't know why it's not working.
Kindly suggest

THANKS
ANKIT

what i understand is that we have to pass status in the jason format ..
DOUBTS:
1. Do i have to pass it with a seperate header.. if yes what are the name and values of this header. ?
2. exactly what thing i have to pass (like json or json encoded etc) ?
3. Can i pass it in the parameters itself ?

I am using java oauth libraries to try and update the user status. My code works for "GET", so i end up with the user's status.
However, when i do a 'PUT', i get this exception

SEVERE: params: {<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

I am passing the status data in as parameters along side the OAuth parameters into an OAuthMessage.

final Map<String, String> values = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
values.put("starttime", "2009-03-11T04:13:12Z");
values.put("endtime", "");
values.put("status", "doing nothing");

Can someone tell me where im going wrong?

thanks

Hi MaryS,

Can you please post the chunk where you're setting the PUT method...I'm seeing some POST info there.

Hi here is a snippet of my code


final String sessionKey = credentials.getKey();
final String sessionSecret = credentials.getSecret();
final OAuthRequestConfiguration requestConfig = new OAuthRequestConfiguration(
"PUT", sessionKey, sessionSecret);
final String guid = credentials.getUserId();

String requestUri = "http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/{guid}/presence/presence";
requestUri = requestUri.replace("{guid}", guid);

final Map<String, String> values = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
values.put("starttime", "2009-03-11T04:13:12Z");
values.put("endtime", "");
values.put("status", "doing nothing");

log.info("Request URI: " + requestUri);

try {
final String rawResponse = OAuthRequestBroker.request(
providerConfig, requestConfig, requestUri, values);
return rawResponse;
} catch (Throwable ex) { }

Ok i managed to update the status. The problem was the OAuth libraries, they
did not support the PUT operation. So i basically got the latest ones and it works.
However when i put my new status eg 'thello his is a new status', this updates, however
when i check my profile page it says '“hello%20this%20is%20a%20new%20status” .
it seems as though it is not decoded on the yahoo end?
any ideas?
