401 is “Unauthorized” - Check if you can make the call using the API console: Under “OAuth Signature generator” https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/search/tweets - try the call with curl first just to check.

One common issue is with your clock - if your PC or server time is more than a few minutes wrong, OAuth has problems.

Do you mean you are creating new access tokens again and again? Access tokens can be saved for later - you don’t need to regenerate them that often.

Hi, i’m trying to call the REST API to post a tweet with a photo (base64 format).
I tried to post also without the Query String Parameter but I did not succeed.

The Base64 image is more larger than the one i have posted.
It could be a limit of size on media?!

I would be grateful if somebody could help me.
Thank you.

This question is not related to the original thread so you would have been better off starting a new one under the Media APIs category.

There is no status parameter on the media/upload endpoint. Posting a Tweet with media is a two step process where you need to upload the image and then post a Tweet attaching the media ID.

How large is the file? What error are you seeing?

Thank you for the reply.
I will open a new topic under that category.
