Post parameters

[plot...@googlemail.com]

I am trying to get the post parameters to work but twitter complains
about a missing query parameter.
Here is my call:

class Search < ActiveRecord::Base
require 'json'
require 'typhoeus'
include Typhoeus

remote_defaults :on_success => lambda {|response| JSON.parse
(response.body)},
:on_failure => lambda {|response| puts "error code: #
{response.code}"}

def self.create_search search_query
results = Search.post("http://twitter.com/saved_searches/
create.json",
:post => {:query =>
search_query},
:headers => {"Authorization" => "Basic #
{Base64.b64encode(TWITTER_USERNAME + ":" + TWITTER_PASSWORD)}"})
end

end

What params does twitter claim to be missing? Can you toss tcpdump or wireshark at it and see what params are actually sent?

Can you post a link to the API for the call you're making?

Can you post samples of what you have tried "search_query" for?

So the old remote interface is deprecated. I'm sorry, I'll update the
readme this week, I promise.

Anyway, the new interface is Hydra and Reqeust. Using those two your
code would look like this:
hydra = Typhoeus::Hydra.new
hydra.disable_memoization
request = Typhoeus::Request.new("http://twitter.com/saved_searches/create.json",
:method => :post, :params => {:query => search_query}, :headers =>

{"Authorization" => "Basic #{Base64.b64encode(TWITTER_USERNAME + ":" +
TWITTER_PASSWORD)}"}

request.on_complete do |response|
JSON.parse(response.body)
end
hydra.queue request
hydra.run

Although, I'm not sure why the other method wouldn't work. It should.
Have you tried running it against a local server and seeing what the
POST params are?

I think this example also highlights an additional API need. To be
able to send single requests easily.

Anyway, let me know if that works for you.

ok, scratch that. I just added the convenience methods. Now in version
0.1.6 (now up on gemcutter) you can just do the following:

response = Typhoeus::Request.post("http://twitter.com/saved_searches/create.json",

:params => {:query => search_query}, :headers => {"Authorization" =>
"Basic #{Base64.b64encode(TWITTER_USERNAME + ":" +

TWITTER_PASSWORD)}"})
foo = JSON.parse(response.body)

booya, enjoy.
