How to create a post status string (tweet)

[JackpotCity]

Hi,

I simply wonder how it is possible to create a complete string in order to post “Hello World” as a status update.

I have checked “https://dev.twitter.com/oauth/overview/creating-signatures” in order to understand. I dont understand all but almost. However this API is out of date and not working anymore.

I am banging my head to try and create this string correctly. I know about encoding characters as " " to “%20” etc.

It would be so great if anyone could provide a complete example string and tokens etc to pass in to make it correct!

MY ATTEMPT which is not entirely correct:

https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json?include_entities=true&oauth_consumer_key=MYKEYHERE&oauth_nonce=WHATISTHIS&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1318622958&oauth_token=123456789-MYTOKEN&oauth_version=1.0&status=HELLO%20WORLD

which API are you referring to? as far as I know the documentation is up-to-date.

Are you using a client library?

You are using the old version (1) of the Twitter API, make sure you use the correct endpoints, for example:

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json

(also note that it is preferred to send the oAuth details as Authentication headers, but it should work regardless of which way you do this)
