large-video-upload-python's Introduction

Large Media Upload

This Python sample demonstrates the following process of uploading large media (video / GIF / image) files asynchronously with the Twitter API, via the "chunked upload" method.

INIT media upload.
APPEND chunked data.
FINALIZE media uploaded.
Check STATUS of media processing.
Tweet with attached media.

Large video files are longer than 30 seconds / up to 140 seconds, and/or a file size larger than 15 megabytes up to 512 megabytes.

Learn more about the Twitter Media APIs. Pay attention to the other requirements such as encoding, frame size and video formats supported, as these may be reasons for uploads failing at the processing stage.

Running the sample

Install requirements:
```
$ pipenv shell
$ pipenv install
```

Fill in your consumer keys and access tokens in async-upload.py:

CONSUMER_KEY = 'your-consumer-key'
CONSUMER_SECRET = 'your-consumer-secret'
ACCESS_TOKEN = 'your-access-token'
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 'your-access-secret'

Edit path to your media file in async-upload.py:

VIDEO_FILENAME = 'path/to/video/file'

Run script:
```
$ python async-upload.py
```

large-video-upload-python's Issues

Video upload always fails

I get the error:
INIT
Media ID: 1263253181288546307
APPEND
986718 of 986718 bytes uploaded
Upload chunks complete.
FINALIZE

Media processing status is pending

I tried other videos and it does the same thing

Fix doc links to point to new DTC

There are links in the README that refer to dev.twitter.com - need to update for the new website structure.

Convert to pipenv

Would love to see plain text of HTTP requests for reference

Hey Twitter peeps! I've been struggling with this API for an entire day. I'm re-implementing some of this functionality in Deno and I can't seem to get it to work. I keep getting error 32 on the APPEND step, even though the authentication works fine on every other step except this one.

I've been clued in that this error is because of some mistake with encoding my multipart/form-data, but I'm using modern web standard with no clear reason to distrust that part of the code.

I would love to see plain text versions of the HTTP requests that are the result of the code in this repository so I can actually reference a real HTTP request rather than having to find out how thousands of different libraries build a different request that might work.

If you peeps would help out with that, that'd be great. Thanks! 🙏🏻

Improve error handling if media endpoint is unavailable

If the INIT command fails, then the code will break. Needs better error handling.

large-video-upload-python async upload code does not working correctly.

{u'media_id_string': u'881896187762233346', u'media_id': 881896187762233346, u'processing_info': {u'check_after_secs': 5, u'state': u'pending'}, u'expires_after_secs': 86400, u'size': 10492221}
Media processing status is pending 
Checking after 5 seconds
STATUS
Media processing status is failed

I got this error when trying upload 10MB video file to my twitter account.

any idea?

Refactor keys, tokens and file paths

Move keys and tokens into a separate config file to make the script less monolithic - can then avoid accidental token commits to git.

Multi line Twitter status update throws errors

This should cover more than just "video"

Add instructions - or modify code with comment blocks - to enable this to easily be modified for large images, GIFs, or other video.

How do you post a tweet thread using this?

Hi
Uploading a video works!
How could i post an attached tweet to the tweet i uploaded a video for to make a thread?
Thanks!

how add this your method to twitter-python library ?

it doesn't run in crontab as a root.

describing the issue

I use crontab [ to schedule tasks on ubuntu 16.04 ] to run a script that does the work automatically for me, but when it runs the line ( pipenv run python async-python.py ) it doesn't work with crontab.

Expected behaviour

is the media category 'tweetvideo'?

I found the twitter document says media category should be tweet_video.
But i looked into your code, it wrote as 'media_category': 'tweetvideo'
Does it work as well?
Thank you

I love you

a lot
