I'm assuming you're trying to get the access token (e.g you're calling SimpleOAuthAccessRequest). Scribe's OauthService has methods to handle this.

BUT ... if you're going to do it manually, here is what's wrong with your code - at least with what you've listed here. I'm assuming you've configured scribe correctly.

• don't pass the consumer secret with your request, that is only for signing the request
• you should use addOauthParameter vs addQueryStringParameter
• you should use the Scribe constants
• you need to sign the request (again, Scribe's OauthService has help method for signing request)

Here's your updated snippet of code.

UPDATE: Have Scribe provide all the Oauth parameters for you

OAuthRequest request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.GET, ...
//since you're just passing Oauth parameters and nothing else, 
//you can use signRequest will create Oauth Parameters for you
service.signRequest(OAuthConstants.EMPTY_TOKEN, request)
Response response = request.send()
