Problem uploading a photo to Twitter API using update_with_media

[gabrielmartinez]

I’m also in search of some information for this type of functionality. There are a few discussions on stackoverflow.com using cURL to perform but nothing that I have found to be promising. It would be easier if an intent tweet could perform the uploading. I might be looking to have things uploaded to twitpic first before it is shared as that provides the example in-twitter that I desire.

Does anyone have a working version for API 1.1?

We have listed several librairies that work with 1.1 at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/twitter-libraries.

Can you please share code of image uploading on Twitter using Javascript and JQuery? Thanks in advance.

if it is giving status 0,

then put cacert.pem file in the same folder where tmhOAuth.php exixts

I don’t know why nobody posted the latest code update here, but I just tested this CODE snippet using ‘tmhOAuth library for PHP’…

include ‘/var/www/apps/Twitter/tmhOAuth.php’;

$tmhOAuth = new tmhOAuth(array(
‘consumer_key’ => ‘x’,
‘consumer_secret’=> ‘x’,
‘token’ => ‘x’,
‘secret’ => ‘X’
));

$image =’/var/www/images/SpinHistoryRoulette.png’;
$status = “Picture posting test bitcoin-roulette.com”;

$tmhOAuth->request(‘POST’, ‘https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json’, array( ‘media[]’ => “@{$image}”, ‘status’ => $status), true, true );

The last line of code is what I have seen written incorrectly everywhere.

• make sure the $image is a reference to a local filename (NOT URL)
• check the parameters to request() are like above

I could solve it by using only using base64_encoded string. No need to use any other meta information.

I know it is late but anyone coming next may find this useful.
I successfully shared image using this code:

$temp_file = $_POST['url']; // this is path of local file $temp_type = $_POST['type']; // jpg $temp_name = $_POST['name']; // image.jpg

$tmhOAuth = new tmhOAuth( array(
‘consumer_key’ => $_POST[‘consumer_key’],
‘consumer_secret’ => $_POST[‘consumer_secret’],
‘user_token’ => $_POST[‘user_token’],
‘user_secret’ => $_POST[‘user_secret’],
));

$params = array(
‘media[]’ => “@{$temp_file};type={$temp_type};filename={$temp_name}”,
‘status’ => $_POST[‘status’]
);

$code = $tmhOAuth->request( ‘POST’, ‘https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json’,
$params,
true, // use auth
true // multipart
);

if ( $code == 200 ) {
echo “success”;
}else{
echo $code;
}

[drfaustru]

[aarushi2001]

Thanks Bilal. Quick question… where are you pulling values for URL and Type? Can you help me a little.

[FIREFIGHTERWRLD]

[lmd_de]

[MagapuRkrishna]

Please any one help me update/post image using c#.net

[constantin_ca]

I used you code and twitter request to enter a pin in my application. I don‘t know where to put this pin code. I can avoid the pin code?

[LeoOrtegalv]

I have the same problem. I use vb.net and the application performed by restsharp twitter.

The value @ {image}, that is? A url or photo stream
