Send a Tweet with a Media not working: 400 - 'Your media IDs are invalid.'

[antoinegues]

I have problem for send a tweet with a media

There is my code :

`async function sendTweet(tweetID: string) {

await twitterClient.v1.uploadMedia(__dirname + "/../test.mp4", {
    mimeType: EUploadMimeType.Mp4,
}).then(async (data) => {
    const detail = (await twitterClient.v1.mediaInfo(data));
    console.log(detail);
    twitterClient.v2.reply('Test', tweetID, {
        media: {media_ids: [detail.media_id_string]}
    });
});

}`

And the error :

/Users/antoine/Documents/Projet/test/node_modules/twitter-api-v2/dist/client-mixins/request-handler.helper.js:103 return new types_1.ApiResponseError(errorString, { ^ ApiResponseError: Request failed with code 400 - Invalid Request: One or more parameters to your request was invalid.

Hi, Can you give more details by accessing error.errors?

try {
  await client.v2.tweet(...)
} catch (error) {
  console.log(error.errors)
}

[antoinegues]

After more research i found the problem come from the twitter API himself, thank for the helping

[sanyamjain04]

hey @antoinegues I am also building a project where I want to post media using twitter-api-v2. if you have successfully posted media using Twitter-api-v2, Can you please share your code or plz tell me which endpoints you have used white posting media? I also tried and read the documentation but I am not getting the media_id and getting error in response?

[antoinegues]

All the code you need is in my first message, but check your media is compatible with twitter. You can test on send it on twitter with your browser. If you need more help, don't hesitate to ask.

Hello @antoinegues, Sorry to bother you again, Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I am able to post Tweets, like ,unlike but not able to uploadMedia. Here is my code:

const TwitterApi = require("twitter-api-v2").default;

const twitterClient = new TwitterApi({
  clientId: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET,
});

const getRefreshClient = async () => {
  // take the old accessToken and refreshToken from DB
  let { data: tokens, error } = await supabase
    .from("tokens")
    .select("*")
    .single();
  const { Refresh_Tokens } = tokens;

  // Generate new Refresh token using old refresh token
  const {
    client: refreshedClient,
    accessToken,
    refreshToken: newRefreshToken,
  } = await twitterClient.refreshOAuth2Token(Refresh_Tokens);

  // Update the refresh accessToken and newRefreshToken in DB
  const { data: updatedData, error: error1 } = await supabase
    .from("tokens")
    .update({ Access_tokens: accessToken, Refresh_Tokens: newRefreshToken })
    .eq("id", "1")
    .single();

  return refreshedClient;
};

const uploadMedia = async () => {
    
      const refreshedClient = await getRefreshClient();
    try {
        const  data = await refreshedClient.v1.uploadMedia( './SanyamJain.jpg')
        console.log(data);
      } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
      }
}
uploadmedia();

It is showing this error

Have you try to upload your media with the web client and tweet it ?

[sanyamjain04]

Yes, I tweeted the same image in WebClient. it is working fine, Twitter supports jpg images.
