Cannot connect to Twitter API from Postman

Question

I do not understand. I am doing everything I am supposed to.

I have created an app in Twitter, generate the OAuth info, and now I'm trying to make some requests from Postman. But I am getting this error every singe time:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": 32,
      "message": "Could not authenticate you."
    }
  ]
}

I have tried several different ways, for example using the Oauth feature in Postman - as described in this answer, just using a plain Authorization header, etc. However nothing is working

Has anyone had a similar experience or know how to fix this?

I got it working with the following steps:

I went to https://dev.twitter.com/oauth/tools/signature-generator where I typed in the query I wanted to make and then clicked Get OAuth Signature.

Then in Postman, copy in the URL you generated an OAuth token for, and then copy the entire Authorization Header you generated.
In Postman, click Bulk Edit and paste in the authorization header you copied

That's it.

Click Send

Can't find site shown in anwers screenshot. Just see twitter search panel, which redirects to simple site search – mohax Jun 27 '17 at 13:12
