Required Parameters:

  • The text of your status update. URL encode as necessary. Statuses over 140 characters will be forceably truncated.

Optional Parameters:

  • The ID of an existing status that the update is in reply to. Note: This parameter will be ignored unless the author of the tweet this parameter references is @replied within the status text.

Show
  • Twitter will ignore attempts to perform a duplicate update. With each update attempt, the application compares the update text with the authenticating user's last successful update, and ignore any attempts that would result in duplication. Therefore, a user cannot submit the same status twice in a row. The status element in the response will return the id from the previously successful update if a duplicate has been silently ignored.


* You need to first to make authenticated request.
