Getting 'Sorry! That page doesn't exist.' when trying to create sandbox account with twurl

[abhishekkalia]

I’m trying to create a sandbox account with twurl using this empty POST request as directed by the documentation.

twurl -X POST ads-api-sandbox.twitter.com "/2/accounts/"

What am I doing wrong here?

[abhishekkalia]

Output

A complete HTML page containing:

<h1>Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!</h1>

Hi @abhishekkalia! Have you tried with version 3 of the API?

[abhishekkalia]

Yes, the same html file is returned.

[majoritasdev]

Can you make GET or other requests? How about https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/ads/campaign-management/api-reference/accounts#get-accounts ? Is this successful?

[abhishekkalia]

Yes GET works,

twurl -H "ads-api-sandbox.twitter.com" "/3/accounts"

gives the output

{"request":{"params":{}},"next_cursor":null,"data":[]}%

I see… then I don’t know, let’s wait and see what someone from Twitter Staff says.

Thank you.

[abhishekkalia]

Why would Twitter staff ignore this thread?

[majoritasdev]

Hi @abhishekkalia! Maybe they just didn’t get to it. I would also say that their priority is the live environment, and then the sandbox… I’m sorry for this! Hang in there!

Hey @abhishekkalia

Looks like you’re missing the -H option prior to specifying the host. As an example, the correct usage here should be:

twurl -X POST -H ads-api-sandbox.twitter.com "/3/accounts/"

Thanks!

Thank you! This fixed my problem.
