Invalid signature

[Mandlee]

Hi!
I try to connect the FatSecret (search) and the response is:

{ "error": {"code": 8, "message": "Invalid signature: oauth_signature 'YcFEXTtpJHILCdjtqAKgskB2WP4='" }}

Do you have any idea what is the problem?

You need to get a personal oauth_signature for your application on the website. @Mandlee did you do that already?

where to get personal oauth_signature from the website and where to add it in the code. if by oauth_signature you mean api and secret key then it is already obtained but the error is still there. please help

I have solved the issue of { "error": {"code": 8, "message": "Invalid signature: oauth_signature 'YcFEXTtpJHILCdjtqAKgskB2WP4='" }}
for anyone who face the same issue in future, the solution is to add the "&" symbol at the end of the secret key. It is necessary as mentioned in the description of the Fatsecret api on their website.

code example:
APP_SECRET+="&";
SecretKey sk = new SecretKeySpec(APP_SECRET.getBytes(), HMAC_SHA1_ALGORITHM);
APP_SECRET = APP_SECRET.substring(0, APP_SECRET.length()-1);

simply add "&" at the end of secret key before calling SecretKeySpec and remove it right after the call so that "&" doesnt add up on every call to the FatSecretSearch !

Hope it will help !

Having the same problem with "error": {"code": 8, "message": "Invalid signature: oauth_signature 'YcFEXTtpJHILCdjtqAKgskB2WP4='" }}

Added code above and got { "error": {"code": 7, "message": "Invalid/used nonce: oauth_nonce '118111112106120108'" }}

Any help?

Also I was wondering about this line, why it is not counted as instructed

Long.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis() * 2).toString(), // Should be Long.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000).toString()
