Twitter v1.1: 400 Bad request

Question

I have problems with the new Twitter API: v1.0 is working without problems, but if I change the URL to v1.1 I get all the time a error \"400 Bad request\" (seen with Firebug).

Answer 1

You need to authenticate and authorize using oauth before using v1.1 apis Here is something which works with python tweepy - gets statuses from users timeline

def twitter_fetch(screen_name = "BBCNews",maxnumtweets=10):
   'Fetch tweets from @BBCNews'
    # API described at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline

    consumer_token = '' #substitute values from twitter website
    consumer_secret = ''
    access_token = ''
    access_secret = ''

    auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_token,consumer_secret)
    auth.set_access_token(access_token,access_secret)

    api  = tweepy.API(auth)
    #print api.me().name
    #api.update_status('Hello -tweepy + oauth!')

    for status in tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline,id=screen_name).items(2):
        print status.text+'\n'


if __name__ == '__main__':
    twitter_fetch('BBCNews',10)
