image upload not working

Hi there,

I can’t make this snipped work

const Twitter = require('twitter-lite')

var client = new Twitter({
  consumer_key: 'changed',
  consumer_secret: 'changed',
  access_token_key: 'changed',
  access_token_secret: 'changed'
})

var data = require('fs').readFileSync('./mymedia.png')

client.post('media/upload', { media: data })
  .then((err, media, res) => {
    console.log(err, media, res)
  })

The only thing i got is err = { errors: [ { message: 'Sorry, that page does not exist', code: 34 } ] }

Did I miss something ? I’m on a macOS with nodejs v9 and the latest version of this lib. Uploading the same image with twurl works like a charm.

Thanks

Might be related to the fact that the media/upload endpoint is on the ‘upload’ subdomain, not the ‘api’ one.

There’s a good example of creating two clients in the test suite, while keeping it DRY. One for api endpoint, one for upload endpoint.

function newClient(subdomain = 'api') {
  return new Twitter({
    subdomain,
    consumer_key: TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY,
    consumer_secret: TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET,
    access_token_key: ACCESS_TOKEN,
    access_token_secret: ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET,
  });
}

then you can do–

const uploadClient = newClient('upload');
const apiClient = newClient();
