X.com Create Post

Causes the User to create a Post under the authorized account. Rust

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

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

// Implements the following CURL command:

// curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/tweets" \
// -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
// -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
// -d '{"text":"Hello, X.com! This is my first post using the API."}'

// Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
// Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code
