Twitter OAuth -- Tweet to Your Own Account

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to send a tweet (status update) to your own Twitter account using pre-known credentials, which includes:

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

Rust

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

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

http.set_o_auth1(true);
http.set_o_auth_verifier("");
http.set_o_auth_consumer_key("my-consumer-key");
http.set_o_auth_consumer_secret("my-consumer-secret");
http.set_o_auth_token("my-access-token");
http.set_o_auth_token_secret("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.

let req = chilkat::HttpRequest::new();
req.add_param("status", "Maybe he'll finally find his keys. #peterfalk");

req.set_http_verb("POST");
req.set_content_type("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

let resp = chilkat::HttpResponse::new();
if http.http_req("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json", &req, &resp).is_err() {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
    return;
}

if resp.status_code() == 200 {
    // Display the JSON response.
    println!("{}", resp.body_str());
} else {
    println!("{}", http.last_error_text());
}
