Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

http.oauth1 = true
http.oauth_verifier = ""
http.oauth_consumer_key = "my-consumer-key"
http.oauth_consumer_secret = "my-consumer-secret"
http.oauth_token = "my-access-token"
http.oauth_token_secret = "my-token-secret"

-- Send the same status update as shown in this example:
-- https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/post/statuses/update

-- IMPORTANT: Make sure this app has read/write access.
-- Otherwise it cannot post an update (i.e. tweet) to the Twitter account.

local req = chilkat.HttpRequest.new()
req:add_param("status", "Maybe he'll finally find his keys. #peterfalk")

req.http_verb = "POST"

local resp = chilkat.HttpResponse.new()
local success = http:http_req("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json", req, resp)
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

if resp.status_code == 200 then
    -- Display the JSON response.
    print(resp.body_str)
