Weewx and twitter

[Andrey Mihaylov]

Hello Guys, 

all day im trying to make my weather station to report data to twitter but without success. Something is wrong with the credentials and really don't know what.  I created APP at developer.twitter.com, OAuth 1.0a is set with permissions Read and write, callback uri is http://localhost, access token and Secret are added into weewx.conf, but still same error in the log . 

 ERROR weewx.restx: Twitter: Failed to publish record 2022-04-01 14:55:00 EEST (1648814100): Authorization failed: Twitter API returned a 401 (Unauthorized), Invalid or expired token.

[[Twitter]]

        oauth_token_secret = Access Secret

        oauth_token = Access Token

        app_key_secret = API Key

        app_key = API Secret 

 

what can be wrong ? 

Thanks, 

A,

 I have made some progress, but  now Ascii encoding issue appears. 

how this could be fixed?

thanks,

Hello,

A couple questions:

What version of the twitter uploader are you using? You want v0.15.

What version of Python are you using?

Sorry. What we need is the version of the twitter uploader. Look in file bin/user/twitter.py for a line that looks something like

VERSION = "0.15"

If it's a lesser version, the first thing I'd try is upgrading to V0.15
