Flickr 'Invalid auth token (98)' Uploading videos from Asp.net Application
- by pat8719
I am attempting to allow user to upload videos to Flickr from an Asp.net application using the FlickrNet library/API. I've obtained an API key and an API secret from Flickr. Additionally I am retrieving an authToken using the AuthGetFrob method from the FlickrNet library.
My Using Statements are as Follows
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using FlickrNet;
I have created two methods to accomplish this task.
One which gets and returns the AuthToken
private string GetAuthenticateToken()
{
Flickr flickr = new Flickr(FLICKR_API_KEY, FLICKR_API_SECRET);
string frob = flickr.AuthGetFrob();
return flickr.AuthCalcUrl(frob, AuthLevel.Write);
}
And One the Uploads the File Using that AuthToken
public void UploadFile(string fileName, string title, string description)
{
try
{
string authToken = GetAuthenticateToken();
Flickr flickr = new Flickr(FLICKR_API_KEY, FLICKR_API_SECRET, authToken);
string photoId = flickr.UploadPicture(fileName, title, description, "", true, false, false);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
However, when I make the call to 'UploadPicture' the following exception is thrown. 'Invalid auth token (98)'.
The contents of the AuthRequest Http request looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rsp stat="ok">
<frob>72157627073829842-9d8e31b9dcf41ea1-162888</frob>
</rsp>
And the content of the Upload methods Http request looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rsp stat="fail">
<err code="98" msg="Invalid auth token" />
</rsp>
I saw a similar post on the flickr forums here but based on my understanding, it appears that I am doing everything right yet still cannot figure what I am doing wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
