Tweepy - Your media IDs are invalid


I am coding in python a bot to publish in X some graphics. I've tried 100 ways but i don't get it.... The authentication goes fine and also (or so I think) upload the image with 'media_upload' but when I run 'create_tweet' always the same error:

 The media ID is:  1895739426753396736
 Error Twitter: 400 Bad Request
 Your media IDs are invalid.

That's the code:

 #V1.1 Twitter API Authentication
 auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)
 auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN,ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET,)
 api = tweepy.API(auth)

 #V2 Twitter API Authentication
 client = tweepy.Client(
    consumer_key=CONSUMER_KEY,
    consumer_secret=CONSUMER_SECRET,
    access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN,
    access_token_secret=ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET,
)

 def publicate_twitter(tweet_text):
     try:
         media_path = "C:\\Users\\jonca\\Documents\\Python_Files\\final_graph.png"

         # Upload image with API v1.1
         media_id = api.media_upload(filename=media_path).media_id_string
         print("The media ID is: ", media_id)

         # Create with API v2
         client.create_tweet(text=tweet_text, media_ids=[media_id])
         print("Tweeted!")

     except Exception as e:
         print(f"Error Twitter: {e}")

Solution

  • Nothing like uploading a post to find the 'error'...my image weighed 2.7MB and measured 4646x8817....when I tried with a 1MB and 1858x3526 image it was OK... I think the problem was the size of the image.... Solved!
