I'm trying to connect to the twitter API with the command:
ServiceConnect["Twitter"]
That's no problem if I do this at home behind my router. But when I do that at my company, it does not work and I get a URL:Fetch error.
So my question is: Do I need administrator rights because I (in this case the ServiceConnect object) need to call the browser from Mathematica?
Or is that a problem during to the firewall? I do not think it's a firewall problem because I think the call is just an HTTP or HTTPS request. The Twitter page is not blocked when I call it from the browser.
Thanks for any help.
ServiceConnect
attempts to update. If that's the case useBlock[{$AllowInternet = False}, twitter = ServiceConnect["Twitter"]]
. $\endgroup$URLFetch["https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token"]
returns for you(Its ok if you get error code related to bad authentication data)? Also are you seeing this with Twitter service only? Are you able to connect to say other light weight services that don't use OAuth like ServiceConnect["OpenLibrary"]? $\endgroup$
