    Hello! I can’t get the Twitter authorisation to work. I’m definitely logged into Google and Twitter, and I tried Safari, which doesn’t even show an error message, and Chrome, which shows this error message:

    Error message when trying to authorise TAGS with Twitter.

    I’m trying to follow the Futurelearn Social Media Analytics course, and the error message appears when I get to step 5 in this guide: http://external-apps.qut.edu.au/futurelearn/resources/dm/exercise1/index.html.utf8

    I’d be grateful for any help – is this happening to everyone, or is there a problem with my setup?

    Hi Jill,

    Not seen this one before. My thoughts are either it was a temporary issue with google servers or if your network is firewalled or your anti-virus software is interrupting the request. If you are still having problems are you able to try the setup using a different network connection?

    Thanks for your response, Martin. It still doesn’t work, which is bizarre because I have tried

    – using Safari, on a mac, home network
    – using Chrome, on a mac, home network
    same at work in case of proxy/VPN
    – using Firefox on a windows machine, work network

    And in the class 7 students all managed to get it to work on windows like me (uni computers) and on a mac like I have personally. No problems with the browsers, network, anything.

    So it seems the only thing left is that my accounts are messed up somehow? Here is a screenshot of how it works, first in safari (no error message just empty screen) and then Chrome (error msg).

    Hi Jill – thanks for trying different things and making the recording. Really puzzled by this one so asked some folks in our G+ community to see if they can help https://plus.google.com/+MartinHawksey/posts/MSGNBonfVSb

    I’ll post here if there are any suggestions

    I set up a completely new google account, and the Twitter authorisation now works, with the new google account, same Twitter account. So there must have been something about my regular google account. I have no idea what that might be though.

    Hi Jill – thanks for persisting and leaving a note about the issue/solution. I’ve never seen before and it’s useful to know in case others have an issue. Hope you enjoy the socmed course

    Hi,

    I’m studying the FutureLearn SocMed course and am at the point when I’m working on the data collection exercise using TAGS but
    I seem to be having an issue, using Chrome on Apple I’ve set everything up as per the instructions, gone to run my query, TAGS – run now – keeps asking to set up Twitter access, which I have, several times – keep getting the success Twitter has authenticated page – go back to TAGS – run now and it tells me I need to set up Twitter access. Keeps going round like this, any ideas?

    thanks!
