Media upload is not supported.!

[shrinath-shenoy]

Looks like ngTwitter doesnot support media upload. Also the post calls are appended with get parameters which is not correct -

ng-twitter/dist/ng-twitter-api.js

Lines 44 to 46 in f2a5c90

	// // Append the bodyparams to the URL
	var t = $twitterHelpers.createTwitterSignature('POST', url, parameters, clientId, clientSecret, token);
	if (parameters !== {}) url = url + '?' + $twitterHelpers.transformRequest(parameters);

Post request has worked for me all the time, guess it's a special problem with the media upload. Feel free to make the changes to the body params and submit a pull request, I would be happy to merge it!

Can u share your code for media upload post request.....

I'm having the same trouble, i can't upload an image using POST api with media_id on body request.

I checked the code, and what I understood is that even when make a POST call this part of code adds to url request the params (optional data):

if (parameters !== {}) url = url + '?' + $twitterHelpers.transformRequest(parameters);

This solution is ok when url characters does not exceed the maximum numbers of characters on a HTTP call, but when media_id is too long the call fails.

Could anybody can confirm this?

This is the code i'm using but without success:

    var oauthObject = {
      oauth_consumer_key: clientId,
      oauth_nonce: $cordovaOauthUtility.createNonce(32),
      oauth_signature_method: "HMAC-SHA1",
      oauth_token: token.oauth_token,
      oauth_timestamp: Math.round((new Date()).getTime() / 1000.0),
      oauth_version: "1.0"
    };

    var signatureObj = $cordovaOauthUtility.createSignature("POST", url,
                      oauthObject, {screen_name: token.screen_name}, clientSecret,
                      token.oauth_token_secret);

    $http.defaults.headers.common.Authorization = signatureObj.authorization_header;

    console.log(JSON.stringify(signatureObj));

    var _headers = {
      'Authorization': signatureObj.authorization_header,
      'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
    };

    $http({
      method: "post",
      url: "https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json",
      data: JSON.stringify(base64String)
    }).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        console.log(data);
        deferred.resolve(data);
      })
      .error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        console.log(data);
        deferred.reject(status);
      });

I have tested using both endpoint:

• https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json
• https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json (deprecated)
