Twitter API v2 (Basic) with PHP library

X API X API v2

I’ve been testing the Twitter API v2 (Basic) since yesterday and would like to implement this with my PHP script. For testing, I created a simple script and its task is to post a tweet on twitter. However, the script returns:

Error posting a test tweet. HTTP Code: 404 API Response: NULL

This is my code:

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;

// OAuth settings
$consumerKey = 'xxx';
$consumerSecret = 'xxx';
$accessToken = 'xxx';
$accessTokenSecret = 'xxx';

// Create TwitterOAuth object
$twitter = new TwitterOAuth($consumerKey, $consumerSecret, $accessToken, $accessTokenSecret);

// Create a Tweet
$tweetParams = [
    'text' => 'This is a test tweet.',
];

$status = $twitter->post('tweets', $tweetParams, true);

if ($twitter->getLastHttpCode() == 201) {
    echo "Successfully posted a test tweet.\n";
    echo "Tweet ID: " . $status->data->id . "\n";
    echo "Tweet Text: " . $status->data->text . "\n";
} else {
    echo "Error posting a test tweet.\n";
    echo "HTTP Code: " . $twitter->getLastHttpCode() . "\n";
    echo "API Response:\n";
    var_dump($status);
}
?>

According to the twitter documentation, the Abraham\TwitterOAuth library is compatible with v2.

If AbrahamTwitterOAuth is not v2 compatible, could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Abraham\TwitterOAuth primarily uses v1.1.
You have to set the version.

// Use Twitter API v2
$twitter->setApiVersion('2');

$status = $twitter->post('tweets', $tweetParams, true);

Thanks, sorted :slight_smile:

Anybody got this still working for Twitter v2.0 API & free tier?
