I have two sites both using the same yelp api access keys. Is that ok? in fact when I run both sites off the same dev box – ie same IP – the keys work for one site but not the other. Also , the keys work on dev for that site but not for the live site – any reason to do with the API or just a bug on my end? If I need multiple access keys how do I get them as the manage api access seems to only allow me one set at a time.
when they fail I get this error on dev :
Array ( [error] => Array ( [text] => Signature was invalid [id] => INVALID_SIGNATURE [description] => Invalid signature. Expected signature base string: GET….
tracing thought my code has not revealed any differences in the code or the calls to yelp yet, in fact I just copied the code over from the functional site’s folders.
Thanks
upon further testing with other searches it turns out that I get the error mentioned when the saerch fails, but sometimes I get results and no error. So the error message is very misleading. The sig is valid.
But in order to work for a business call the business id must first be url encoded – I found that on ids that contained accented characters it was failing but not on others. I guess that closes this issue.
