# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

http = chilkat2.Http()

http.OAuth1 = True
http.OAuthVerifier = ""
http.OAuthConsumerKey = "my-consumer-key"
http.OAuthConsumerSecret = "my-consumer-secret"
http.OAuthToken = "my-access-token"
http.OAuthTokenSecret = "my-token-secret"

# Send the same status update as shown in this example:
# https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/post/statuses/update

# IMPORTANT: Make sure this app has read/write access.  
# Otherwise it cannot post an update (i.e. tweet) to the Twitter account.

req = chilkat2.HttpRequest()
req.AddParam("status","Maybe he'll finally find his keys. #peterfalk")

# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.PostUrlEncoded("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json",req)

if (http.LastMethodSuccess != True):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

if (resp.StatusCode == 200):
    # Display the JSON response.
    print(resp.BodyStr)
else:
    print(http.LastErrorText)
