How to post images on Twitter using the API

Question

API

Is this possible in principle? By the fact that there are clients and services that can do this, I conclude that it is possible. But how? I did not find a single line about sending pictures in the API documentation (

Answer 1

Basically already answered. There is no such feature in the Twitter API. However, theoretically, a picture could be converted to text using something like BASE64, split into 140-character blocks, and tweeted! By the way, since you can use Unicode there (the tweets of the Japanese and Chinese are very long, they write whole treatises there) - you can use not BASE64, but something more cunning.

Answer 2

Twitter does NOT have the ability to post a picture. Twitter can only post 140 characters of text. Everything else is third party services. Whose API do you need to look at. Choose your favorite and go :-)

Answer 3

Well look. First, there is a tweetpick. secondly, the tweetpick has an api that can already be used exactly where you need it.

Answer 4

upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json Here, using the POST method, pass an array containing the 'media' index, which will contain a link to your image. It seems to be so.
