Update with media alternative way

Hey! Does API.Update_with_media() works? I’m trying to reply tweets that have mentioned my profile, but isn’t work. My profile send the tweet with image, but not as a reply and just as a normal tweet.

If the method is deprecated, is there another way to reply tweets with a image?

def reply_tweet(tweet, message, img):
    api.update_with_media(img, message, in_reply_to_status_id = tweet.id)
    store_last_seen(FILE_NAME, tweet.id)

def main():
    tweets = api.mentions_timeline(read_last_seen(FILE_NAME), tweet_mode='extended')
    for tweet in reversed(tweets):
        message = generate_message()
        img = select_image_path()
        reply_tweet(tweet, message, img)

If you try posting a reply without an image you’ll notice you’re still not making a reply. You need to follow tweepy docs for adding reply target ID and twitter docs which say you must also include a handle for it to become a reply

Yes the deprecated method does work, as you’ve said it posts images and since my own app uses it

If you read the Tweepy docs you’ll see a note that it is deprecated and what the recommended alternative is.

The preferred approach is to use api.upload_media and then attach the returned ID as part of the media_ids list parameter on the api.update_status method

Here are my noted about that
