1. Consumer Key
2. Consumer Secret
3. Access Token
4. Token Secret

Go

    success := false

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

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()

    http.SetOAuth1(true)
    http.SetOAuthVerifier("")
    http.SetOAuthConsumerKey("my-consumer-key")
    http.SetOAuthConsumerSecret("my-consumer-secret")
    http.SetOAuthToken("my-access-token")
    http.SetOAuthTokenSecret("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 := chilkat.NewHttpRequest()
    req.AddParam("status","Maybe he'll finally find his keys. #peterfalk")

    req.SetHttpVerb("POST")
    req.SetContentType("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")

    resp := chilkat.NewHttpResponse()
    success = http.HttpReq("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json",req,resp)
    if success == false {

        http.DisposeHttp()
        req.DisposeHttpRequest()
        resp.DisposeHttpResponse()
        return
    }

    if resp.StatusCode() == 200 {
        // Display the JSON response.
        fmt.Println(resp.BodyStr())
