twitter login: 401 Client Error: Authorization Required

Question

I'm using python-social-auth to implement twitter login locally but I get the 401 client error. My django version is 1.6.

Traceback:
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in get_response

Exception Type: HTTPError at /login/twitter/
Exception Value: 401 Client Error: Authorization Required

In documentation it suggests to install ntp.I have no clue how to install ntp.

Answer 1

It turns out I left the callback url field blank in the twitter app console. Although, it's not required, but putting http://127.0.0.1:8000/complete/twitter/ (Note the slash at the end) did the job.

Answer 2

Note also that if you leave the final '/' off the end of the call back URL, you will get this error. It should read

http://127.0.0.1:8000/complete/twitter/
