simple bash script, but no tweets are arriving

[Hans-Cees Speel]

Hi,

I have become member to be able to tweet simple stories line by line.

I am using bash with tweet account @hanscees

This is my script (but changed pwd):

##########################

#!/bin/bash

# tweet_mess.sh Tweet from your Linux account

USERNAME="hanscees"

PASSWORD="vellyseclet"

URL=http://api.supertweet.net

# Now lets post to Twitter.

result=`curl -vu $USERNAME:$PASSWORD -d status="This is a test to sent a tweet with supertweet from linux bash" $URL`

exit 0

###########################3

curl says:

dollar 1 is dit is een test auto-tweet met supertweet.net

But no tweets appear. 

Any tips? Or does it take a while before my account hanscees will work?

Note you are getting a redirect to the SuperTweet home http://www.supertweet.net/ because the url you're using is not valid http://api.supertweet.net

Read the docs again: http://www.supertweet.net/about/api

And see the example:

curl -u user:password -d "status=playing with cURL and the SuperTweet.net API" http://api.supertweet.net/1.1/statuses/update.json

Note proper url endpoint: http://api.supertweet.net/1.1/statuses/update.json
