A while back, I tossed a little concept video out to the nets regarding CLI interface with my site’s comments and an LCD screen. I figured that I could do a similar thing with my Twitter account…spurred largely by Adafruit’s Make it Tweet challenge. Well, it turns out that Twitter has a few hurdles to jump, in regards to posting tweets to an account.
My failed usage from the command line was utilising curl
> curl -u swantron:pass -d status=”command line test” http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
I was getting an error message, that basic authentication was not supported. For the loss.
It turns out that you need a few keys in order to authenticate, which requires registering an app with Twitter… like this
There we go…keys in hand. Now, I need to figure out how to sew this together using curl or wget. If all else fails, I am pretty sure there is a py library that I can snag. Stay tuned…this one could be fun.
