How can I pass query string parameters with a space char in when the callback_url is now explicit in Twitter API / Twython?

Question

Twitter made their callback_url explicit this month. This now creates a problem since my callback url has space chars as (+) in the parameters I pass. It produces a 403 error.

qs = 'param1=value&param2=a+b'
auth = twitter.get_authentication_tokens(callback_url='http://%s/twittercallback?%s' % (host, qs))

The problem occurs for that plus character (+) which is a space in the form that's being retrieved; I tried substituting "%20" but that created the same issue.

It thinks this is a separate callback url and not approved.

Shouldn't 'http://%s/twittercallback?%s' be supplied with two objects to format instead of just one, qs?

You're right - it does and I omitted it I'll add it back to clarify. – user1961 Jun 21 '18 at 00:14
