Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

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.new()
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.new()
success = http.HttpReq("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json",req,resp)
if (success == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

if (resp.get_StatusCode() == 200)
    # Display the JSON response.
    print resp.bodyStr() + "\n";
else
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
