This is an important notice for developers still using HTTP plaintext connections. On January 14th, 2014, connections to api.twitter.com will be restricted to TLS/SSL connections only. If your application still uses HTTP plaintext connections you will need to update it to use HTTPS connections, otherwise your app will stop functioning. You don't need to wait until deadline to implement this change, given that api.twitter.com already supports the recommended environment.
This SSL requirement will be enforced on all api.twitter.com URLs, including all steps of OAuth and all REST API resources.
Connecting to the API using the SSL protocol builds a safe communication channel between our servers and your application, meaning that no sensitive data can be accessed or tampered by unauthorized agents in the middle of this communication path.
Any well-established HTTP client library already supports the ability to connect to a SSL-enabled server and usually the required change is just a matter of updating a few lines of code or configuration files. For specific details about using SSL to connect at api.twitter.com, please review Connecting to Twitter API using SSL.
A "blackout test" will be performed on Jan 7th, 2014, when HTTP plaintext connections will be unavailable for a time period to be defined and announced in this discussion page and via the @twitterapi account.
If you have any questions or concerns with securely connecting to api.twitter.com over SSL, please post them here.

java users:

ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();

Im Update This My New Account Twitter Page @KimmoVaint Lol All There
I am using wp - to twitter plugin it has suddenly stopped working showing me
403 Forbidden: The request is understood, but has been refused by Twitter. Possible reasons: too many Tweets, same Tweet submitted twice, Tweet longer than 140 characters. Not an error from WP
to Twitter. Is it due to the same api update made by twitter.
Will Switching to https over here make it work??
NOTHING is working!!
I tried the PEM file from http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
Also tried EVERY SINGLE certt from https://www.symantec.com/page.jsp?id=roots
Still NOTHING!!
I don't even get a http_code returned, it is always NULL.
Therefore I do not even know what's wrong!!
Did anyone get this working trying to connect to OAUTH using PHP??
Thanks for the headache! going to have some Tylenol now smh
I ran into the SSL problem using twitter4j suddently ... It appears that ConfigurationBuilder pickes up a default value for SSL as false . I set the system property con the command line to TRUE. This fixed the issue:
In Eclispe, just ste the following VM argument:
-Dtwitter4j.http.useSSL=true
es
The MIT app inventor Twitter component also seems to have been killed by the https change. Any ideas please.
I need to log in as if my phone was a PC. May I get some help for that?
Estaba usando twitter.class.php de David Grudl sin problemas y ahora con estos cambios no entiendo que es lo que debo modificar ¿Alguien usa esta misma libreria?
hi
thank
I have a problem since last chage in twitter api. I made the changes in my code as is said in 'Connecting to Twitter API using SSL' doc but the response is always "Failed to validate oauth signature and token", this are the parameters I send when i ask for the token: https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token
[request] =>
[oauth] => Array (
[oauth_consumer_key] => EDA7C3qIAgQLbVs6f5g4A
[oauth_token] =>
[oauth_nonce] => 82ba441695b0a2c3ad4c73e7a50ec104
[oauth_timestamp] => 1390229868
[oauth_signature_method] => HMAC-SHA1
[oauth_version] => 1.0
[oauth_callback] =>
[oauth_signature] => Y4YsYqthMqJjAXmqIaUBsHyR4Iw%3D )
[oauth_verifier] =>
[oauth_callback] =>
[oauth_token] => D6rKoj5NWXPHG4g0ySnEoN1VtBzStN1Z6PdWfsDTZtQ )
I use 'cacert.pem' from codebird lib because i didn't found any other file to use.
Some idea about what is happening?
My twitter PHP apps have stopped working. Is this due to SSL or Oauth being changed?
i am using this search api : http://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=harry&with_twitter_user_id=true&include_entities=1&include_rts=1

I had the same issue it worked locally but not on our app servers. I was getting below error
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certif
Relevant discussions can be found on the Internet at:
It worked for me after I have added below certificate to my keystore:

Basically below is the command to be run under your JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security and this will update your cacerts

Hello,
For my web application I'm using Spring-Social-Twitter library (http://projects.spring.io/spring-social-twitter/) woten on Java. This library seems already support SSL because all url start with https
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authenticate
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token
But when I try to logged in got the message:
I/O error on POST request for "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token":sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target; nested exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
How can I resolve this problem?
I'm using a PHP class of abraham/twitterOAuth and I noticed that Twitter api.twitter.com now requires SSL/TLS.
I don't know what should I do to fix SSL for Twitter.
I also find it let me know?
Thank you.
:)
I am using OAuth to connect and pull the latest tweets on my website is working perfectly.
I have doubts as to traffic restriction api.twitter.com SSL / TLS
I have to switch to SSL / TLS?
How to do this?

Hi, you need not change .
Hello, what the situation must apply the SSL you know?
Thank you.
I'm using a PHP class of abraham/twitterOAuth and I noticed that Twitter api.twitter.com now requires SSL/TLS.
It is very inconceivable. One of my API works fine. I have not opdate anything yet.My two API are used with different severs .Now I am wondering it is sever problem or twitter SSL issue .

Can anyone tell me what problem my API have? How should I fix it?
The perl module Net::Twitter is broken. It doesn't work anymore from behind a http-proxy.
Instead of using the CONNECT method to initialize a proper connection it throws a POST command directly against the proxy.
The answer is 503 -- and it is right!
I will have to move this function to an other host with direct access.

I'm using tibco bw with twitter plugin. Anyone know how to deal with this issue?
are you using twitter4j lib?
are you using twitter4j lib?
I updated to twitter4j 4.0.1 now, running on JVM 6 machine. I get this error:
"Failed to get timeline: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"
Please help!!!! THANK YOU!
I got that error too!
Did you solve it?
yes. i have change the library files from twitter4j 3.1.0 to twitter4j.4.0.1
I use java to connect twitter api. I test my code on local test machine can work, however put it on server to execute find errors like following:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Can any one tell me, what can I do for this exception. Thank you.
two ways: upgrade to twitter4j 3.0.5, or, add following line to your twitter4j.properties: http.useSSL=true
Do you now need a SSL webpage to write twitter apps? I used to have an app that displayed latest 20 twitter friends . Is this still posible to do?
thanks to help me
