Python: Lazada Invalid Authorization Code

I was trying to get access token to create other API Calls. I already got the authorization code from sellers account but for some reason my python script output says:
{'code': 'InvalidCode', 'type': 'ISP', 'message': 'Invalid authorization code', 'request_id': '2102ebef16741206553665'}
This is the python script I used from their SDK:
import lazop_sdk
client = lazop_sdk.LazopClient("https://auth.lazada.com/rest", appKey, appSecret)
request = lazop_sdk.LazopRequest("/auth/token/create")
request.add_api_param("code", authorizationCode)
request.add_api_param("uuid", "This field is currently invalid, do not use this field please")
response = client.execute(request)
print(response.type)
print(response.body)
Dis I miss anything? I'm pretty sure I followed the steps from their documentation.
Thank you in advance for helping! This is my first time asking help from StackOverflow :)

LinkedIn Job Search REST API Issue(s)

I see there has been questions similar to this but the responses to them explains my asking a similar question here. I am wanting to utilize LinkedIn's REST API for my personal job hunt, specifically utilizing the job search API capabilities.
My problem comes in with retrieving an access token and autorisation to actually use the app. I have tried the below code - the first cell is to retrieve autorisation and the second is to retrieve an access token:
from linkedin import linkedin
APPLICATON_KEY = 'XXXXXX'
APPLICATON_SECRET = 'XXXXX'
RETURN_URL = 'http://localhost:8000'
authentication = linkedin.LinkedInAuthentication(APPLICATON_KEY, APPLICATON_SECRET, RETURN_URL,
linkedin.PERMISSIONS.enums.values())
print (authentication.authorization_url) #open this url on your browser
Access token:
authentication = linkedin.LinkedInAuthentication(
APPLICATON_KEY,
APPLICATON_SECRET,
RETURN_URL,
linkedin.PERMISSIONS.enums.values()
)
authentication.authorization_code = '#############################################'
result = authentication.get_access_token()
print ("Access Token:", result.access_token)
print ("Expires in (seconds):", result.expires_in)
When I attempt to retreieve authorisation (required for access token) the following error occurs:
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/linkedin/linkedin.py", line 294
except (requests.ConnectionError, requests.HTTPError), error:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
It's an obvious syntax error, however am ignorant to what it is exactly - I have a feeling it might be my localhost

That error points to the comma separating the exception classes from the variable name.
A comma there is Python 2.x syntax, so that means the linkedin library you're using is not compatible with Python 3.
If you're using this library, you can see it's not been updated in 5 years. This (PyPI) seems like a slightly fresher fork.

PRAW: Authorizing with OAuth prevents me from getting submissions/comments

If I use OAuth, I am unable to get new submissions or comments from a subreddit.
My Oauth code looks like this:
import praw
import webbrowser
r = praw.Reddit(user_agent)
r.set_oauth_app_info(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, REDIRECT_URI)
authURL = r.get_authorize_url("FUZZYPICKLES", "identity submit", True)
webbrowser.open(authURL)
authCode = input("Enter the code: ")
accInfo = r.get_access_information(authCode)
After that I can try to get submissions
submission = r.get_subreddit("test").get_new()
or comments
comments = r.get_comments("test")
but if I use either value, the program crashes with the error:
raise OAuthInsufficientScope('insufficient_scope', response.url)
praw.errors.OAuthInsufficientScope: insufficient_scope on url https://oauth.reddit.com/r/test/comments/.json
If I don't use OAuth, either by using login() or by just not authorizing, I have no such issues. I am using Python 3.4. What am I doing wrong?

I found the solution myself. To read posts, you need "read" in your list of requested scopes. So, "identity submit" should be "identity read submit".

Trouble with Twitter API using Python

I'm having some trouble in this python code:
import twitter
twitter_search = twitter.Twitter(domain="search.twitter.com")
trends = twitter_search.trends()
The error (404 page not found) is right here:
I'm using this package: http://github.com/sixohsix/twitter

Because of the new API change, you need to use this program:
import twitter
twitter_api = twitter.Twitter(domain="api.twitter.com", api_version='1')
WORLD_WOE_ID = 1
world_trends = twitter_api.trends._(WORLD_WOE_ID)
trends = world_trends()
print [trend['name'] for trend in trends[0]['trends']]
This is based, in part, on the book errata website.

According to the Twitter API documentation for the trends call the domain should be api.twitter.com:
import twitter
twitter_search = twitter.Twitter(domain="api.twitter.com")
print twitter_search.trends()
{u'trends': [{u'url': u'http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23weedcommandments',
u'name': u'#weedcommandments'}, ...

You may want to checkout the updated IPython Notebook for Chapter 1 of Mining the Social Web that shows an updated example for this workflow and API call as well as a little bit of other context that is compatible with Twitter's v1.1 API. See http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/raw.github.com/ptwobrussell/Mining-the-Social-Web/master/ipython_notebooks/Chapter1.ipynb for a read-only version of the notebook.

What is a post_form_id? (using python urllib2)

I'm interested in writing a python script to log into Facebook and then request some data (mainly checking the inbox). There are few nice examples out there on how to do this. One interesting script i found over here and there is some nice example on stackoverflow itself.
Now i could just copy-paste some of the code i need and get to do what i want, but that wouldn't be a good way to learn. So i am trying to understand what i am actually coding and can't understand some elements of the script in the first example, namely: what is a post_form_id?
Here is the section of the code which refers to "post_form_id" (line 56-72):
# Initialize the cookies and get the post_form_data
print 'Initializing..'
res = browser.open('http://m.facebook.com/index.php')
mxt = re.search('name="post_form_id" value="(\w+)"', res.read())
pfi = mxt.group(1)
print 'Using PFI: %s' % pfi
res.close()
# Initialize the POST data
data = urllib.urlencode({
'lsd' : '',
'post_form_id' : pfi,
'charset_test' : urllib.unquote_plus('%E2%82%AC%2C%C2%B4%2C%E2%82%AC%2C%C2%B4%2C%E6%B0%B4%2C%D0%94%2C%D0%84'),
'email' : user,
'pass' : passw,
'login' : 'Login'
})
Would you be so kind to tell me what a post_form_id is? And accessorily: would you know what the lsd key/value stands for?
Thanks.

I don't understand why you are trying to "hack" this ...
There is an official api from facebook to read the mailbox of a user, and you need to ask the "read_mailbox" permission for this.
So I advice you to check my post here on how to use facebook and python/django together, and how to login to facebook from python.
And then I would recommend you to read the facebook doc about the messages/inbox.
Basically you need an access_token then you can do http://graph.facebook.com/me/inbox/?access_token=XXX
You can also ask for the "offline_access" permission so you'll need only to get an access token once and you will be able to use it "forever"
And the you can do http://graph.facebook.com/MESSAGE_ID?access_token=XXX to get the details about a particular message.
Or using the api I use in the other thread :
f = Facebook()
res = f.get_object("me/inbox")
...
Feel free to comment if you have any question about this ?
