I'm making a chrome extension, which needs to get the current user's followers. The tumblr API says that I need to implement oauth and send requests as listed here. I implemented oauth following the example and using the library from google here.
So, the result was that the oauth.authorize function would run, but the callback function, onFollowers, wouldn't be called, leaving me to believe that I'm not getting a response from tumblr for some reason.
This is the code I ended up with:
background.html:
<html>
<script type="text/javascript" src="chrome_ex_oauthsimple.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="chrome_ex_oauth.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="background.js"></script>
</html>
background.js:
var oauth = ChromeExOAuth.initBackgroundPage({
'request_url' : 'POST http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/request_token',
'authorize_url' : 'http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/authorize',
'access_url' : 'POST http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/access_token',
'consumer_key' : '[key provided]',
'consumer_secret' : '[secret provided]',
'app_name' : '[app name]'
});
var followers = null;
var baseHostname = localStorage.getItem('BaseHostname');
function onFollowers(text, xhr) {
//parsing JSON response
}
function getFollowers() {
oauth.authorize(function() {
var url = "api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/"+baseHostname+"/followers";
oauth.sendSignedRequest(url, onFollowers, {
'parameters' : {
'base-hostname' : baseHostname
}
});
});
};
chrome.extension.onMessage.addListener(
function(request, sender, sendResponse) {
if (request.greeting == "getFollowers")
console.log(baseHostname);
getFollowers();
sendResponse({farewell: "getFollowers function run success"});
});
Am I missing something?
