Error Adding Link about delicious-api HOT 14 OPEN

Can you provide an example call you're making to the api with curl?

from delicious-api.

Here's a sample:

   $params = array(
        'url'           => 'http://google.com',
        'description'   => 'Desc',
        'tags'          => 'tag1,tag2',
        'extended'      => 'Extended Content',
        'shared'        => "yes",
    );

    $params_encoded = http_build_query($params);
    $access_token = 'someaccesstoken';
    $header[] = "Authorization: Bearer {$access_token}";

    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/add?".$params_encoded);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://delicious.com');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);

    curl_exec($ch);

The response is always:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><result code="error adding link"/>

And here's a twist: I get that error and sometimes my bookmark gets added into my account!!!

@peoplemerge: Hi, any updates? :)

from delicious-api.

Same here. I am using a slightly less sophisticated wget, although I set the UA, and I get the same behaviour.

from delicious-api.

After 1 month this error still exist. Any news from Delicious team?

from delicious-api.

Hey guys, sorry for the slow response.
@azimut can you post the wget? It's a lot easier for me to duplicate wget than php code.

from delicious-api.

Thanks for the reply @peoplemerge

Command:

wget --user-agent=****** --http-user=***** --http-passwd=**** -O result.html 'https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/add?url=http://imgur.com/gallery/*****&description=*****&extended=****'

result.html

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><result code="error adding link"/>

from delicious-api.

Thanks. I'll check it out now.

OK I was able to make limited progress. The problem is on our side (you knew that).

It's related to a component that's in the process of being revamped. When users save a link, we have a job that retrieves the full text of the link in order to suggest link title, key image, and some other key metainformation. I'm not sure, but Delicious probably does not recommend tags that way.

That job has been off for at least a few weeks as the component revamp has continued. After dissecting a lot of code, discovered this, and by flipping the switch on link retrieval, I was able to get the result to no longer say "error adding link".

Unfortunately, we had it off for a reason. Now link saving can take 60 sec.

Think you guys can give us a bit more time to complete the refactor? For the next few days, please report any changes to the behavior here.

OK turning it back off. 30-60s links save times would be a dealbreaker. Will check again next week

from delicious-api.

Problem still persists. We need to make 2 submissions. First one will say 'error adding link' - even though link/post was successfully published, second will say 'item already exists', and that's how we can retrieve status so far .....

Any news?

Any updates on this? Looks very horrible.
