API - Error 202 "Your credentials do not allow access to this resource"

codeigniter, php, pyrocms, twitter

Solution

Double check your code - it looks like, that you're calling the Twitter REST API with an application-token, instead of an user-token.

Have a look here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/application-only-auth

To be able to successfully creating a new status for an user, you need a specific user-access token.

Problem

I am trying to use `account/verify_credentials` and `statuses/update` with the Twitter API. I always get an error 202, please see error returned below: {"errors":[{"code":220,"message":"Your credentials do not allow access to this resource."}]}
