I'm new in using twitter API, I've successfully called:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json
api.twitter.com/1.1/followers/list.json
but when I call:
I get Forbidden access.
Following is my request:
Method: GET, RequestUri: 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/geo/search.json?query=Pakistan', Version: 1.1, Content: , Headers:
{
Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz%aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
}
And the response that I get is:

{
strict-transport-security: max-age=631138519

If you're interested in looking at my C# code that I'm using, here you go:
public async Task<IEnumerable<string>> GetTweetsByLatLong(double latitude, double longitude, int count, string accessToken = null)
{
if (accessToken == null)
{
accessToken = await GetAccessToken();
}
var requestUserTimeline = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, string.Format("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/geo/search.json?query=Pakistan"));
requestUserTimeline.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken);
var httpClient = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage responseUserTimeLine = await httpClient.SendAsync(requestUserTimeline);
if (responseUserTimeLine.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
dynamic json = ((serializer.Deserialize<object>(await responseUserTimeLine.Content.ReadAsStringAsync())) as Dictionary<string, object>).Values.ElementAt(0);
//new System.Collections.Generic.Mscorlib_DictionaryValueCollectionDebugView<string, object>((json as Dictionary<string, object>).Values).Items[0]
var enumerableTwitts = (json as IEnumerable<dynamic>);
if (enumerableTwitts == null)
{
return null;
}
return enumerableTwitts.Select(t => (string)(t["name"].ToString()));
}
else
{
return new string[] { responseUserTimeLine.ToString() };
}
}
public async Task<string> GetAccessToken()
{
var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token ");
var customerInfo = Convert.ToBase64String(new UTF8Encoding().GetBytes(OAuthConsumerKey + ":" + OAuthConsumerSecret));
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + customerInfo);
request.Content = new StringContent("grant_type=client_credentials", Encoding.UTF8, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.SendAsync(request);
string json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
dynamic item = serializer.Deserialize<object>(json);
return item["access_token"];
}
