Video uploads via REST API

[richardhyland]

Also the max upload size in 1.1/help/configuration.json also still shows 3Mb rather than 5Mb

[jublonet]

Even waiting for 20 seconds after uploading the last chunk still returns in ‘The validation of media ids failed.’

[richardhyland]

I’m finding this error exists even with a single APPEND chunk. If I upload a 1.5Mb video it’ll work fine with or without a delay. Upload a single chunk of a file, lets say 3.4Mb and even with a few second delay posting to /statuses/update.json with throw a 400 error

FINALIZE returns

{
    "expires_after_secs" = 3600;
    "media_id" = 602393985588559872;
    "media_id_string" = 602393985588559872;
    size = 3385225;
    video =     {
        "video_type" = "video/mp4";
    };
}

update.json returns

{"errors":[{"code":324,"message":"The validation of media ids failed."}]} status 400

Thanks, Richard. I’m going to pull all of these responses together into a report for the team to look into. Appreciate your feedback and patience as we roll out this feature!

[richardhyland]

Thanks @andypiper. Looking forward to implementing this

[richardhyland]

Hi @andypiper Do you happen to have any update on this. I’m still seeing this problem with larger videos

[andypiper]

Not yet - working on circling back with the team - bear with us please!

[satinderp]

Can we use this in Android / iOS to upload the videos? Or is it only for web / desktop apps?

[andypiper]

You can use this in Android or iOS, but there are currently no methods inside Fabric to enable you to handle the upload - you’ll have to call the REST API directly.

With reference to https://dev.twitter.com/twitter-kit/android/twitter it is given that TwitterCoreKit can be used for Rest API access but TwitterCoreKit is accessed by using Fabric . But you said Fabric don’t have methods now to upload videos. Then How can we use this upload feature in Android?

Ok, I can’t upload any video that bigger than one chunk.
half of time I receive "The validation of media ids failed."
and the other half
{“https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json?command=FINALIZE&media_id=614813042992390145 web request failed.”}
Internal Server Error - Something is broken. Please post to the group so the Twitter team can investigate.
As a vigilant citizen, I’m reporting it.

Hi, I tried to upload video but failed in the last FINALIZE step. Can anyone pls help? Thanks

INIT --> successful --> return media ID
APPEND --> return 204
FINALIZE --> Error 3 Request failed: internal server error (500)

the finalize command:
command=FINALIZE&media_id=615795891862016000

Hello,

I’m working on an android app that must to be able to send videos to Twitter.
The app is consuming the REST API via Retrofit, overriding some Fabric’s classes.
There are 3 steps to upload a video and 2 of them are working properly
INIT, APPEND - OK
The last step (FINALIZE) is always returning a BAD REQUEST (HTTP 400) response, the parameters are being sent correctly

After all these tips that all of you wrote above, didn’t work.

PLEASE, could any of you, help me?

[davethedub]

Am also getting the same error

{"errors":[{"code":324,"message":"The validation of media ids failed."}]}

However, if I post a video <1mb it works. Anything bigger, even 1.01mb fails with the error.

I thought the limit was 15mb? Either way, still investigating. Perhaps that bit of info helps…

[davethedub]

found my issue, my video split routine was wrong, so was trying to post videos over 30 seconds

[adobeganesh]

I am facing an issue with APPEND call in video upload. Details at APPEND call in Video upload API giving error. Require urgent help.

[mandicabrito]

I’m having the same problem. Any news about this?

[andypiper]

Hi all - I’m going to close out this Announcement thread, and suggest that further related queries be raised on the REST API category, using “video” in the tags. Thanks!
