This code is used when requests are being denied due to update limits

Hi!

I am new to Twitter applications.

I created a twitter application, and got there the consumer key, secret as well as the access token itself.

I hardly have posts on my twitter, but when I try the following code: (I am using my application keys, and my own access tokens

ConfigurationBuilder cb = new ConfigurationBuilder();
cb.setDebugEnabled(true).setOAuthConsumerKey(consumerKey).setOAuthConsumerSecret(consumerPassword).setOAuthAccessToken(authKey).setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(authKeySecret);
TwitterFactory tf = new TwitterFactory(cb.build());
Twitter twitter = tf.getInstance();
StatusUpdate latestStatus = new StatusUpdate("test");
Status status = null;
try {
   status = twitter.updateStatus(latestStatus);
} catch (TwitterException e) {
}

I get:

403: This code is used when requests are being denied due to update limits (https://support.twitter.com/articles/15364-about-twitter-limits-update-api-dm-and-following).
error - Error creating status.

How could it be? am I missing something?

I saw that the problem was that I sent a URL.

Can’t I send a url in the media?

Why do I need to upload file?

Thanks

Hi Odelya,

The statuses/update_with_media method specifically only allows for uploaded file data that will end up hosted on pic.twitter.com – it won’t consume a URL that you provide and upload it for you unfortunately. You could alternately just use regular statuses/update and simply include a link to the URL of the file on the web, but it won’t necessarily get the same visual treatment.

I’ve just got the same message…is it possible to tweet too much so that it starts rejecting your tweets? I was just testing my apps ability to tweet anything and now it’s being rejected after only 2

My application has got the same error message when calling the API bellow:
Open Declaration RequestToken twitter4j.auth.OAuthSupport.getOAuthRequestToken(String callbackURL) throws TwitterException

Error message is
403:The request is understood, but it has been refused. An accompanying error message will explain why. This code is used when requests are being denied due to update limits (https://support.twitter.com/articles/15364-about-twitter-limits-update-api-dm-and-following).
TwitterException{exceptionCode=[10f5ada3-e574402b], statusCode=403, message=null, code=-1, retryAfter=-1, rateLimitStatus=null, version=3.0.3}

Could you tell me what I should do now?
Thanks

api.twitter.com now required to use SSL.
Either update to twitter4j 3.0.5 or set useSSL to true in twitter4j.properties.

Update your twitter4j jars with latest jars, you will get it from http://twitter4j.org/en/index.html
It works for me.
