I've been trying this Spring Social Accessing Twitter Data guide. And though I've double, triple an so on checked everything I keep getting this error when I click "Connect to Twitter" button:
POST request for "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token" resulted in 401 (Authorization Required); invoking error handler
Here is my code:
src/main/resources/templates/connect/twitterConnect.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello Twitter</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Connect to Twitter</h3>
<form action="/connect/twitter" method="POST">
<div class="formInfo">
<p>You aren't connected to Twitter yet. Click the button to connect this application with your Twitter account.</p>
</div>
<p><button type="submit">Connect to Twitter</button></p>
</form>
</body>
src/main/resources/templates/connect/twitterConnected.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello Twitter</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Connected to Twitter</h3>
<p>
You are now connected to your Twitter account.
Click <a href="/">here</a> to see your Twitter friends.
</p>
</body>
src/main/resources/templates/hello.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello Twitter</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Hello, <span th:text="${twitterProfile.name}">Some User</span>!</h3>
<h4>These are your friends:</h4>
<ul>
<li th:each="friend:${friends}" th:text="${friend.name}">Friend</li>
</ul>
</body>

@RequestMapping("/")
public class HelloController {
private Twitter twitter;
private ConnectionRepository connectionRepository;
@Inject
public HelloController(Twitter twitter, ConnectionRepository connectionRepository) {
this.twitter = twitter;
this.connectionRepository = connectionRepository;
}
@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String helloTwitter(Model model) {
if (connectionRepository.findPrimaryConnection(Twitter.class) == null) {
return "redirect:/connect/twitter";
}
model.addAttribute(twitter.userOperations().getUserProfile());
CursoredList<TwitterProfile> friends = twitter.friendOperations().getFriends();
model.addAttribute("friends", friends);
return "hello";
}
}

I ran into the same problem.
After some investigation I found out the problem is in the callback url. Spring social sets this to yourap/signin/twitter. For facebook and linkedin this is fine, but for some reason twitter nees a filled in callback url in the application settings as well.
So the solution: Go to your twitter application settings, and fill in a callback url (this doesn't even have to be the actual callback url your going to use, just fill in any url!). Most likely this is the cause of your problems.

What does your application.properties file look like? It should have entries for spring.social.twitter.appId and spring.social.twitter.appSecret, populated with values you get when registering your application with Twitter.
Be sure that you have those in application.properties and that there are no curly-braces around the values (the guide's text shows curly-braces, but those are meant as placeholders, not something you should actually have in application.properties).
