Foursquare API error: Missing access credentials

Question

I'm making an Android app and am trying to use the Foursquare API . I started to use the foursquare-recommended library, easyFoursquare4Android .

I registered my foursquare app at https://foursquare.com/developers/apps . I Changed the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET constant values in the easyFoursquare4Android library.

I tried to getVenuesNearby() and am getting this error message:

Missing access credentials. See https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/oauth.html for details.

I also am using the Facebook SDK and am using the same Certificate fingerprint <SHA1> that I'm using for Facebook.

Can I reuse the android key hash that I used with my Facebook app or do I have to make a new one?

Answer 1

I solved this by logging the String I was sending to the API.

I never called EasyFoursquare.requestAccess(this) or EasyFoursquareAsync.requestAccess(this) , which requests the access to API by getting an oauth token.

So I never actually sent a CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET in my request.
