Help with secure methods about vkontakte_api HOT 8 CLOSED

AFAIK you need to pass your app_secret as an additional parameter when calling secure methods. Something like this should work:

VkontakteApi::Client.new(vk_token).secure.getSMS(uid: 41526347, client_secret: Vkontakte.app_secret)

from vkontakte_api.

I'm getting closer. My guess is something messed up with my scopes, although I verified that i am asking for the "notify" scope. Maybe i'm using an old token? Looks like there is a lot of chatter about this method on google, but hard for me to parse with my shitty russian.

[3] pry(main)> u.vk_client.secure.getSMS(uid: 41526347, client_secret: VkontakteApi.app_secret)
VkontakteApi::Error: VKontakte returned an error 5: 'User authorization failed: server method is unavailable with user token.' after calling method 'secure.getSMS' with parameters {"uid"=>"41526347", "client_secret"=>"blah"}.

from vkontakte_api.

ahhh, maybe this is what i need http://vk.com/developers.php?oid=-17680044&p=Application_Server_Authorization

Yes, you are trying to call secure methods with a token you got from a usual server authorization, but secure methods require an application server authorization.

Try this instead:

vk = VkontakteApi.authorize(type: :app_server)
vk.secure.getSMS(uid: 41526347, client_secret: VkontakteApi.app_secret)

Getting closer, but it looks like this method is causing problems for a lot of developers

VkontakteApi.authorize(type: :app_server).secure.sendSMSNotification(client_secret: VkontakteApi.app_secret, uid: 41526347, message: "test")
VkontakteApi::Error: VKontakte returned an error 1: 'Unknown error occured' after calling method 'secure.sendSMSNotification' with parameters {"client_secret"=>"blah", "uid"=>"41526347", "message"=>"test"}.

from vkontakte_api.

It is a different method (topic is about secure.sendNotification and you need secure.sendSMSNotification). I don't really see what's causing the problem here unfortunately.

doh, i'm going to fork your https://github.com/7even/vkontakte_on_rails example and try adding a secure.sendSMS as a sanity check. I have a feeling it's a configuration error

Did you manage to find something out?
