OAuth & LabVIEW for posting Twitter status updates

[DuncanW]

I'd like to add the capability for a remote LabVIEW application to be able to post Twitter status updates for remote application health monitoring.

This used to be possible by using HTTP POST (e.g. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-3284), but it no longer works as Twitter have removed support for this and changed to the OAuth (http://oauth.net) mechanism.

This uses a key pair provided by Twitter as part of their API developer program, but I don't know if LabVIEW can support this.

Has anyone managed to get this to work with LabVIEW?

Many thanks

Hello Duncan

The community example you have referred to has not been updated to use the new OAuth API, You may convince the author to update the example if you post on the community page. As it stands I have not found any examples that will allow the interface with OAuth, you could however download an ActiveX call for OAuth and call it through LabVIEW via that. After a quick Google search I have found an ActiveX control on this website, which you should be able to call through LabVIEW.

Hope this helps!

Me too.  Has anyone coded up OAuth in LabVIEW yet?

(I should add that I tried using the SuperTweet.net route and got it to work; however, their TOS exclude the function that I need.  They only allow a single user for each registered application that uses their service.  But SuperTweet.net works for those who need a single-user solution.)

A new API is not available here: Twitter API for LabVIEW

Excellent news, and timely!  Looking forward to giving it a try.
