I tried to use Twitter API to post a tweet using Javascript in a
Google Chrome Extension . Details Below
Base String
POST&http%3A%2F%2Fapi.twitter.com%2F1%2Fstatuses
%2Fupdate.json&oauth_consumer_key%3DXXXXXXXXXXX%26oauth_nonce
%3D9acc2f75c97622d1d2b4c4fb4124632b1273b0e0%26oauth_signature_method
%3DHMAC-SHA1%26oauth_timestamp%3D1305227053%26oauth_token%3D159970118-
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX%26oauth_version%3D1.0%26status%3DHello
Header
OAuth
oauth_nonce="9acc2f75c97622d1d2b4c4fb4124632b1273b0e0",
oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",
oauth_timestamp="1305227053",
oauth_consumer_key="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
oauth_token="159970118-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
oauth_signature="IWuyoPJBrfY03Hg5QJhDRtPoaDs%3D",
oauth_version="1.0"
I used POST method with body "status=Hello"
But i get a 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR.. IS there any mistake on my
side ??
Javascript code used
h is the header given above
tweet="Hello"
encodeURLall is user defined which is working in all other occasions.
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("POST","http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json";,
false);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization",h);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState == 4 )
{
console.log("STATUS="+xhr.status);
console.log("RESPONSE="+xhr.responseText);
}
}
xhr.send("status="+encodeURLall(tweet));
}
