I’m a big fan of Stack Overflow and I tend to contribute regularly (am currently in the top 0.X%). In this category (stackoverflow) of posts I will will be posting my top rated questions and answers. This, btw, is allowed as explained in the meta thread here.

My quesiton was:

So, this morning I got the following error:

{"errors": [{"message": "The Twitter REST API v1 will soon stop functioning. 
Please migrate to API v1.1. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview.",
"code": 68}]}

Since I was using the tmhOauth twitter api I went to look if there are updates for it, and as it seems there is an issue listed here.

I’m using the api to update the status with media like this:

$code = $tmhOAuth->request('POST', 'https://upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json',
        array(
            'media[]'  => "@{$image}",
            'status'   => "{$text}"
        ),
        true, // use auth
        true  // multipart
);

I found notes that I should just change the link to use 1.1 instead of 1 but it’s still not working.

I actually answered this one my self after finding the solution:

My main problem was that I didn’t read the docs fully! While the change in the url from 1 to 1.1 was sufficient I missed the point by not looking that the new url for update_with_media, as explained in thedocumentation, is https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json, namely it’s api instead of the old upload subdomain.

So, now my api call looks like this and all works again:

$code = $tmhOAuth->request('POST', 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json',
        array(
            'media[]'  => "@{$image}",
            'status'   => "{$text}"
        ),
        true, // use auth
        true  // multipart
    );

Hope this helps someone.
