success = False

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

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

http.put_OAuth1(True)
http.put_OAuthVerifier("")
http.put_OAuthConsumerKey("my-consumer-key")
http.put_OAuthConsumerSecret("my-consumer-secret")
http.put_OAuthToken("my-access-token")
http.put_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 = chilkat.CkHttpRequest()
req.AddParam("status","Maybe he'll finally find his keys. #peterfalk")

req.put_HttpVerb("POST")
req.put_ContentType("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")

resp = chilkat.CkHttpResponse()
success = http.HttpReq("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json",req,resp)
if (success == False):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

if (resp.get_StatusCode() == 200):
    # Display the JSON response.
    print(resp.bodyStr())
else:
    print(http.lastErrorText())
