Posterous Implements Twitter OAuth Echo for API

[vincent chu]

Hi developers --

You have all indicated interest in using Twitter Oauth Echo for
uploading images through our API. Just wanted to let you guys know
that I just wrote the API feature and have released it into beta mode.
Here is a preliminary set of docs for this feature:

It's designed to be a drop-in replacement for twitpic -- all you
should do is replace http://api.twitpic.com/2/ with http://posterous.com/api2/.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know personally!

Cheers, and thanks for developing with Posterous -- we really
appreciate the support our development community has given us.

Great news!

Are there plans to support OAuth on the other authenticated calls as
well - like getsites?

Hi, I'm trying to use the OAuth Echo API for Posterous, but I keep getting {"error":"Missing parameter in OAuth X-Verify-Credentials-Authorization"}

The same code (with a different request URL) works for TwitPic and TwitGoo, but I can't find anything wrong.

POST http://posterous.com/api2/upload.json

1. X-Auth-Service-Provider:
   https://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.json
2. X-Verify-Credentials-Authorization:
   OAuth realm="http%3A%2F%2Fapi.twitter.com%2F",oauth_consumer_key="asdfasdfadsfasdf",oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",oauth_token="15407883-asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf",oauth_timestamp="1297140562",oauth_nonce="pw2cey",oauth_signature="asdfasdfasdfasdf%2F4P2fmI%3D"
