how to GET and POST on Twitter in ruby on rails using access tokens

i am using omniauth to authenticate a user via twitter. omniauth provides access tokens. now i want to send the get or post request to twitter. i dont want to use any gems. i want to do with net::http.

even in twitter api documentation ! I am not able to find a good tutorial for this

can any one help? thanks

Solution

Here it is exactly what you need, so, since you've got the token and the secret from omniauth, now you are going to use it:

def prepare_access_token(oauth_token, oauth_token_secret)
  consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new("APIKey", "APISecret", { :site => "https://api.twitter.com", :request_token_path => '/oauth/request_token', :access_token_path => '/oauth/access_token', :authorize_path => '/oauth/authorize', :scheme => :header })
  token_hash = { :oauth_token => oauth_token, :oauth_token_secret => oauth_token_secret }  
  access_token = OAuth::AccessToken.from_hash(consumer, token_hash )
  access_token
end

Then you, for example, post a tweet:

msg = {'status' => 'Hey look I can tweet via OAuth!'}
access_token = prepare_access_token(token, secret)
response = access_token.post('https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json', msg, { 'Accept' => 'application/xml' })
