Attaching image to twitter status

[tunilopez]

Hello everyone!

It's me again . I am trying to attach an image to twitter status update. I am using the following code:

Twitter twitter = new TwitterTemplate(consumerKey, consumerSecret, twitterAccessToken, accessTokenSecret);
StatusDetails statusDetails = new StatusDetails();
statusDetails.setLocation(-34.61178f, -58.41731f);
statusDetails.setDisplayCoordinates(true);
Resource photo = getUploadResource("C:/foto.jpg", "PHOTO DATA");
twitter.timelineOperations().updateStatus("Este es un nuevo mensaje para la pagina twitter desde spring social 231234", photo, statusDetails);

But when I try this I get:

WARN: org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate  - POST request for "https://upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json" resulted in 403 (Forbidden); invoking error handler
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.social.OperationNotPermittedException: Error creating status.

	at org.springframework.social.twitter.api.impl.TimelineTemplate.updateStatus(TimelineTemplate.java:245)
	at com.solopaquetes.service.Test.main(Test.java:30)

I have these settings:

OAuth settings
Access level Read, write, and direct messages

Your access token
Access level Read and write


Any ideas whats going on? Thanks

I see nothing wrong with what you're doing here. In fact, I copied-n-pasted it into a test class (changing only where I fetched the resource image from) and it worked fine for me.

The one thing I don't know about is what the resource in question looks like, because I don't know what's behind the getUploadResource() method. One thing you might try (at least temporarily) is to use Spring's FileSystemResource, which is what I did in my test (and the only thing that differs with what you're doing. It may be a case where the resource your sending isn't acceptable to Twitter for some reason. You might try uploading a different image, too and see if that helps.

You are right. It works.

It seems that I was creating the Resource incorrectly. I created a FileSystemResource as you said and it worked perfectly.

Thank you
