Changed: posting functions now accept a TelegramOptions structure instead of various separate parameters

Thanks, but hopefully there won't be much need for me to keep hacking at it, once the API is stabilised. There's really not much you can do with the free version of it, which is what I have.

The only future change I'm waiting for is the ability to post articles.

Apparently you would use Base64 and that's how it is integrated into the JSON. But I've found a different way - multi-part form-data - which doesn't use JSON at all.

Updated again. For images, use Twitter_UploadImageFile() or Twitter_UploadPBImage(). For videos and gifs, use Twitter_UploadMediaFileChunked(), which can also handle image files and is "preferred" by X to the single-call uploads done by the other two procedures.

The "media_data" field was in v1.1 but deprecated with v2. This tutorial is for v1.1. This is the v2 doc.

When I try to call "APPEND" using a multi-part form data request instead of using JSON, I get this error response:

{"errors":[{"message":"Request body is not valid JSON."}],"title":"Invalid ...

Infratec,

Yes, that's good to know. However, that Python script is 9 years old and the X API has been changed (recently).

I still can't work out how to send raw data inside JSON. In Python, it would look like this:

chunk = file.read(4*1024*1024)

json = {
'segment_index': segment_id
'media ...

Yes, I am doing that.

The issue is definitely in the "total file size". The Base64 segments never add up to that - at least, the way the X server is handling them.

But I can't see a way to include data within JSON except Base64...

You would probably need to use a utility like SoX or FFMPEG. I wrote a library for using SoX with PB.

X have changed their API for uploading media files. Their endpoint for receiving a file in chunks now requires everything to be inside a JSON block. The process is to call the initialize endpoint (stating the file's total size), then to send each chunk to the append endpoint, then to call the ...

My method uses FindString, not StringField.

@Seymour Clufley: Did you even read your code? Just do a search for 'StringField' in your code or even just search for 'String'.
Of course it uses that earlier on, because I didn't change that bit. I was referring specifically to my method for ...

My method uses FindString, not StringField.

As a single procedure:

Procedure$ Capitalize(String$)
Protected.i i, Count
Protected Res$, Word$, FirstCharacter$, WordTail$
excl_arr.s = "|a|an|the|and|but|or|for|nor|on|at|to|by|of|in|up|with|as|"
Count = CountString(String$, " ") + 1
For i = 1 To Count
Word$ = StringField(String$, I ...

Thank you.

Updated to use the v2 API instead of deprecated v1.1 endpoints.
