Upload video using Twitter API

[donaldkerr]

Is it possible to upload video clip using Twitter API? I have the media upload working with photos, but I’d also like to upload a video blob.

Thanks,
Don

It’s not possible using Twitters native media upload, only images are currently supported. If you want to upload videos, you have to use a 3rd party service.

Are there is a 3rd party service that will upload videos to Twitter? Or are you talking uploading to YouTube, etc. and tweeting just the link to the video?

Currently we only support image formats of PNG, JPG and GIF.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, you could use another service such as YouTube etc. More details @ https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/insert

You could then post the link in a tweet, which should render a video to users.

i used https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json
with status=Posted by App, and media_id=

You have to use the media_ids parameter.

i used media_ids parameter
string url = “https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json”;
string response = string.Empty;
string quary = “posted from MyApp”;

        MultipartFormDataContent form = new MultipartFormDataContent();        
        form.Add(new StringContent(Media_id), "media_ids");
      
        form.Add(new StringContent(quary, Encoding.Unicode), "status");
        HttpClient _client1 = new HttpClient();
        string header = DriveUtilities.GenerateSignatureforTwitterVideo(url, "", Twitter_AccessToken, Twitter_AccessTokenSecret);

        _client1.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", header);
     
        var _Response = await _client1.PostAsync(new Uri(url), form);

        HttpContent responseContent = _Response.Content;

but it posting only status not video
can you provode me any sample code for this.
is any other solution for posting with video?

Do not use MultipartFormDataContent but instead you have to use application/x-www-form-urlencoded
