400 Bad Request when using :oauth_callback

I'm trying to use the oauth-ruby gem (https://github.com/oauth-xx/oauth-ruby/) in my Rails application to let users authenticate with a 3rd party API, but I'm having problems getting the oauth_callback to work properly when using get_request_token. Here is the code that keeps failing:

@request_token = oauth_consumer.get_request_token(:oauth_callback => "http://myurl.com")

This results in a 400 Bad Request "OAuth::Unauthorized" error everytime. However when I remove that from my code it returns a request token fine:

@request_token = oauth_consumer.get_request_token()

The problem I'm facing is that when doing this I am not able to be redirected back to my application once the user has authenticated with the 3rd party. Is this an issue with my code or something to do with how the 3rd party handles oauth_callbacks?

Thanks, Chris

That error probably become because the API you requested needs you to save at least one callback URL. Review the API and add your test/production callback url from your dashboard, then the API could validate it on every request you do.
