Twitter Oauth Statuses/show in codeigniter returns error
codeigniter, oauth, php, twitter
Solution
For those people stumbling on this:
I get the id from a previous request to twitter, and I found out you have to use the `id_str` from the json data twitter returns, and not the normal `id`. the string id and normal id are different. God may know why, but I'm just glad this got solved!
Problem
I am using this library for implementing twitter Oauth in my project, and codeigniter if that is relevant in this case. I am trying to get a tweet based on the tweet id, but it's returning an error: ``` {"errors":[{"message":"Sorry, that page does not exist","code":34}]} ``` Here is the code I am using: ``` public function gettweetbyid() { $this->config->load('twitter'); $consumer = $this->config->item('twitter_consumer_token'); $consumer_secret = $this->config->item('twitter_consumer_secret'); $access_token = $this->config->item('twitter_access_token'); $access_token_secret = $this->config->item('twitter_access_secret'); $connection = $this->twitteroauth->create($consumer, $consumer_secret, $access_token, $access_token_secret); $content = $connection->get('account/verify_credentials'); $data = array( 'id' => $this->input->get('id') ); $tweets = $this->twitteroauth->get('statuses/show', $data); echo json_encode($tweets); } ``` I know everything is right because I am using the plugin as well to get tweets based on a hashtag, and this is no problem at all. The URl I am getting looks very similar to their docs url: ``` https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/show.json?id=408541017676460000&.... ``` I'm looking at this for a whole day now and my time is running out... Any help would be appreciated! Edit: Also, is there any way on twitter I can check if the ID actually exists? Altho I don't think that is the problem, I'd like to know for future reference
