Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let http = CkoHttp()!

    http.oAuth1 = true
    http.oAuthVerifier = ""
    http.oAuthConsumerKey = "my-consumer-key"
    http.oAuthConsumerSecret = "my-consumer-secret"
    http.oAuthToken = "my-access-token"
    http.oAuthTokenSecret = "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.

    let req = CkoHttpRequest()!
    req.addParam(name: "status", value: "Maybe he'll finally find his keys. #peterfalk")

    req.httpVerb = "POST"
    req.contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

    let resp = CkoHttpResponse()!
    success = http.httpReq(url: "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json", request: req, response: resp)
    if success == false {
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    if resp.statusCode.intValue == 200 {
        // Display the JSON response.
        print("\(resp.bodyStr!)")
    }
    else {
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
    }
