Problem uploading a photo to Twitter API using update_with_media

episod · 2012-03-06T15:33:48.000Z

HTTP code 0 usually means the request isn’t leaving your machine at all – perhaps due to incomplete SSL settings in your PHP or perhaps due to some kind of firewall issue. Do you have a PHP error log file accessible to you? It might have more information within.

To run a script like this from a non-web context, open up a terminal window to get to a command line. Change to the directory where you have the script. And use the command like:
php filename.php

You may want to go a little more complicated in your debugging in the file. Instead of just echoing $response, I would recommend doing an object dump on it instead – perhaps you’ll then see more about the error disposition that way.

I did not find any working example for upload image on twitter via api. If anyone can give me a php script then it will be very helpful for me.

Thanks in advance.

Very Bad docs and support for Twitter APIs

Hi @stevegartner9 were you able to solve the problems uploading a picture with update_with_media?

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?

froginthevalley · 2013-06-14T15:57:03.000Z

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

meltingtushar · 2013-11-25T00:16:00.000Z

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;

}
