My app appears to have elevated access. It says so on my dashboard etc. My access token and access token secret have read, write and direct message permissions. However, when trying to do anything on the v1.1 api (in this case, uploading an image) I’m given a 403 error saying I need to apply for elevated access. As mentioned, I’m pretty sure I have elevated access so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’ve also regenerated all my keys multiple times after gaining elevated access but am still met with errors. Any help is appreciated :slight_smile:

UPDATE: I worked around it by making a new app in my project and using the keys in that. However, my original app still says I only have essential access (even though it’s in the same project as the working app). I’m happy it works now but it seems like my issue was a bug on Twitter’s side, hopefully it gets fixed soon!

What code / library are you using? Does a call to GET account/verify_credentials | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform work?

I’m using tweepy and verify_credentials says I need elevated access too.

Is the App added to the Elevated project? What does it show on https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/dashboard ?

The dashboard looks like this. As far as I know, that means it’s part of the elevated project.

Thanks, that does look right, I’m really not sure why that is. Does twurl work? GitHub - twitter/twurl: OAuth-enabled curl for the Twitter API

I’m not sure if it works yet because I’ve never used Ruby before. I’m attempting to install (and use) it now but I might be a while. :sweat_smile:

Oh, it should work as a command line tool, so you only need ruby installed. This is really just to check if the implementation is the problem or not.

I installed twurl and it authorised me successfuly. Then I did “twurl -d ‘status=Testing twurl’ /1.1/statuses/update.json”. That’s meant to tweet “Testing twurl” using the v1.1 API, right? I got the same error as before. (I apparently only have essential acccess)

Thank you for reporting! I’m looking into this and will get back to you as I learn more.
