I cant send updates that beging with @ through API 1.1

[manul650]

Hello!

I can´t send updates that begin with @ (mentions) using https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json through my php application. If the tweet begin with other character it works, but if it begin with @ it doesn´t work and twitter doesn’t return any error.

I have “Read, Write and Access direct messages” permision in my application.

What I’m doing wrong? or How can I send mentions through API 1.1?

Thank you!

Make sure you’re encoding the “@” character (and reserved characters, really) correctly. API v1.1 is strict about correct HTTP and OAuth and the “@” character must be represented as “%40”

Hi @episod

Thank you for your answer.
I think I’m doing the encoding right. Because if I tweet this “Hi @episod” with my application, it works. But if I tweet this “@episod Hi” it doesn´t work.

When I said that it doesn´t work it means that my app don´t receive any answer not even an error.

I don´t know if I have to include some more information when I send the mention of it cant be send by https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json

Thank you!

Can you share a bit more on how you formulate the request?

What, if any, library are you using?

I’m using this library http://github.com/j7mbo/twitter-api-php

This is a simple example of how I’m using the library:

$url = ‘https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json’;
$text = ‘@episod Hi’;
$requestMethod = ‘POST’;
$postfields = array(‘status’ => $text);
$twitter = new Model_TwitterAPIExchange($this->conf());

$resultado = $twitter->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->setPostfields($postfields)
->performRequest();

$resultado = json_decode($resultado);

Thank you very much for your answers!

By the way… My php file is encoded in UTF8.

Hi!

There is something wrong with the library I’m using? Or I’m doing something wrong in my request?

There is another way to make the request?

Thank you!
