“Permission denied” when uploading an image through Imgur's API in Android

Question

I am trying to upload an image in Android. The documentation for the header can be found here: https://api.imgur.com/#authentication .

I am using the following line of code to authorize my app:

httpPost.setHeader("Authorization:", "Client-ID " + Constants.MY_IMGUR_CLIENT_ID);

I keep getting the response:

org.apache.http.client.HttpResponseException: Permission Denied

Is the header wrong or do I need to look elsewhere in my code to find the error?

Answer 1

Did you try

httpPost.setHeader("Authorization", "Client-ID " + Constants.MY_IMGUR_CLIENT_ID);

(without colon)?

Answer 2

The following has worked for me before:

httpPost.setHeader("Authorization", "Client-ID " + Constants.MY_IMGUR_CLIENT_ID);

Notice the missing colon
