Here is the code in Node.js:

import { TwitterApi } from 'twitter-api-v2';
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';

const CONSUMER_KEY = 'XXX';
const CONSUMER_SECRET = 'XXX';
const ACCESS_TOKEN = 'XXX';
const ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 'XXX';
const BEARER_TOKEN = 'XXX';

// Replace with your API keys and tokens
const client = new TwitterApi({
  appKey: CONSUMER_KEY,
  appSecret: CONSUMER_SECRET,
  accessToken: ACCESS_TOKEN,
  accessSecret: ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
});

const tweets = [];

function postTweets(folderPath) {
  fs.readdir(folderPath, (error, files) => {
    if (error) {
      return console.error('Unable to scan directory: ' + error);
    }
    files.forEach(file => {
      const filePath = path.join(folderPath, file);
      const fileData = fs.readFileSync(filePath);
      console.log(`Trying to post next tweet: ${path.basename(filePath)}`);
      const text = 'Some text';
      // Upload the image to Twitter
      client.v1.uploadMedia(filePath)
        .then(mediaId => {
          console.log('Media successfully uploaded');
          // Post the tweet with the text and the uploaded image
          client.v1.tweet(text, { media_ids: mediaId })
            .then(tweet => {
              console.log('Tweet successfully posted:', tweet.id);
              tweets.push(tweet.data.id);
            })
            .catch(error => {
              console.log('Tweet post failed', error);
            })
        }).catch(error => {
          console.log('Media upload failed', error);
        })

    });
  })
}

postTweets('d:/Pictures/Twitter/Images');

Why am I getting these non-descriptive error messages?

Hello, i have done my video upload and image upload using twitter-API and express-fileupload

here how u do this

  1. for only tweet 
postTweetTesting = async (req, res) => {
  try {
    // Use .tweet() method and pass the
    // text you want to post
    const twitterData = await client.v2.tweet(req.body.message);
    console.log("API for post only twitterData", twitterData);
    return res.send({
      success: true,
      message: "success",
      data: twitterData,
    });
  } catch (error) {
    console.log("---", error);
  }
};

for image upload and video upload(single or multiple)

postTweetMediaTesting = async (req, res) => {
  try {
    var mediaFiles = [];
    if (Array.isArray(req.files.evidenceMedia)) {
      mediaFiles = req.files.evidenceMedia;
    } else {
      // If a single file is uploaded
      mediaFiles.push(req.files.evidenceMedia);
    }
    console.log(mediaFiles);

    let mediaIds = [];
    for (const file of mediaFiles) {
    
      const uploadMediaId = await client.v1.uploadMedia(file.data, {
        mimeType: file.mimetype,
        target: "tweet",
      });
      mediaIds.push(uploadMediaId);
    }
    const mediaTweet = await client.v2.tweet({
      text: req.body.message || "This is a test tweet with media!",
      media: { media_ids: mediaIds },
    });
 
    return res.send({
      success: true,
      message: "Media uploaded and tweet posted successfully.",
      data: mediaTweet,
    });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error posting media tweet:", error);
    return res.send({
      success: false,
      message: "Error uploading media or posting tweet.",
      data: error,
    });
  }
};

For file upload u can use express-fileupload

Given the error was 403, chances are you had credential issues. Closing as outdated
