Updates the authenticating user's current status, also known as Tweeting.
For each update attempt, the update text is compared with the authenticating user's recent Tweets. Any attempt that would result in duplication will be blocked, resulting in a 403 error. A user cannot submit the same status twice in a row.

This page and certain other Twitter sites place and read third party cookies on your browser that are used for non-essential purposes including targeting of ads. Through these cookies, Google, LinkedIn and NewsCred collect personal data about you for their own purposes. We're rebuilding the Twitter API from the ground up to better support developers as they help the world connect to the public conversation. Eventually, the Twitter API v2 will fully replace the v1.1 standard, premium, and enterprise APIs.
While not rate limited by the API, a user is limited in the number of Tweets they can create at a time. If the number of updates posted by the user reaches the current allowed limit this method will return an HTTP 403 error.
About Geo
- Any geo-tagging parameters in the update will be ignored if
geo_enabledfor the user is false (this is the default setting for all users, unless the user has enabled geolocation in their settings) - The number of digits after the decimal separator passed to
lat(up to 8) is tracked so that when thelatis returned in a status object it will have the same number of digits after the decimal separator. - Use a decimal point as the separator (and not a decimal comma) for the latitude and the longitude - usage of a decimal comma will cause the geo-tagged portion of the status update to be dropped.
- For JSON, the response mostly uses conventions described in GeoJSON. However, the
geoobject coordinates that Twitter renders are reversed from the GeoJSON specification. GeoJSON specifies a longitude then a latitude, whereas Twitter represents it as a latitude then a longitude:'geo': { 'type':'Point', 'coordinates':[37.78217, -122.40062] } - The
coordinatesobject is replacing thegeoobject (no deprecation date has been set for thegeoobject yet) -- the difference is that the coordinates object, in JSON, is now rendered correctly in GeoJSON. - If a
place_idis passed into the status update, then that place will be attached to the status. If noplace_idwas explicitly provided, butlatitudeandlongitudeare, the API attempts to implicitly provide a place by calling geo/reverse_geocode. - Users have the ability to remove all geotags from all their Tweets en masse via the user settings page. Currently there is no method to remove geotags from individual Tweets.

Resource Information¶
| Response formats | JSON |
| Requires authentication? | Yes (user context only) |
| Rate limited? | Yes |
| Requests / 3-hour window | 300* per user; 300* per app |
Please note - The 300 per 3 hours is a combined limit with the POST statuses/retweet/:id endpoint. You can only post 300 Tweets or Retweets during a 3 hour period.
Parameters¶
| Name | Required | Description | Default Value | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| status | required | The text of the status update. URL encode as necessary. t.co link wrapping will affect character counts. | ||
| in_reply_to_status_id | optional | The ID of an existing status that the update is in reply to. Note: This parameter will be ignored unless the author of the Tweet this parameter references is mentioned within the status text. Therefore, you must include @username , where username is the author of the referenced Tweet, within the update. | ||
| auto_populate_reply_metadata | optional | If set to true and used with in_reply_to_status_id, leading @mentions will be looked up from the original Tweet, and added to the new Tweet from there. This wil append @mentions into the metadata of an extended Tweet as a reply chain grows, until the limit on @mentions is reached. In cases where the original Tweet has been deleted, the reply will fail. |
|
|
| exclude_reply_user_ids | optional | When used with auto_populate_reply_metadata, a comma-separated list of user ids which will be removed from the server-generated @mentions prefix on an extended Tweet. Note that the leading @mention cannot be removed as it would break the in-reply-to-status-id semantics. Attempting to remove it will be silently ignored. |
| |
| attachment_url | optional | In order for a URL to not be counted in the status body of an extended Tweet, provide a URL as a Tweet attachment. This URL must be a Tweet permalink, or Direct Message deep link. Arbitrary, non-Twitter URLs must remain in the status text. URLs passed to the attachment_url parameter not matching either a Tweet permalink or Direct Message deep link will fail at Tweet creation and cause an exception. |
| |
| media_ids | optional | A comma-delimited list of media_ids to associate with the Tweet. You may include up to 4 photos or 1 animated GIF or 1 video in a Tweet. See Uploading Media for further details on uploading media. | 471592142565957632 | |
| possibly_sensitive | optional | If you upload Tweet media that might be considered sensitive content such as nudity, or medical procedures, you must set this value to true. See Media setting and best practices for more context. |
| true |
| lat | optional | The latitude of the location this Tweet refers to. This parameter will be ignored unless it is inside the range -90.0 to +90.0 (North is positive) inclusive. It will also be ignored if there is no corresponding long parameter. | 37.7821120598956 | |
| long | optional | The longitude of the location this Tweet refers to. The valid ranges for longitude are -180.0 to +180.0 (East is positive) inclusive. This parameter will be ignored if outside that range, if it is not a number, if geo_enabled is turned off, or if there no corresponding lat parameter. | -122.400612831116 | |
| place_id | optional | A place in the world. | df51dec6f4ee2b2c | |
| display_coordinates | optional | Whether or not to put a pin on the exact coordinates a Tweet has been sent from. | true | |
| trim_user | optional | When set to either true , t or 1 , the response will include a user object including only the author's ID. Omit this parameter to receive the complete user object. |
| true |
| enable_dmcommands | optional | When set to true, enables shortcode commands for sending Direct Messages as part of the status text to send a Direct Message to a user. When set to false, it turns off this behavior and includes any leading characters in the status text that is posted |
| true |
| fail_dmcommands | optional | When set to true, causes any status text that starts with shortcode commands to return an API error. When set to false, allows shortcode commands to be sent in the status text and acted on by the API. |
| false |
| card_uri | optional | Associate an ads card with the Tweet using the card_uri value from any ads card response. | card://853503245793641682 |

If you followed our other account and would like to help us try and get our account back, please do tweet @TwitterSupport or direct us to someone that can help. We believe we were suspended in error by a computer and it’s impossible to speak to any human about the matter.

@soupank @TwitterSupport people, man. I don't have a clue. Some people have unhealthy amounts of hatred in their lives. They're going to die of a stroke or an aneurysm by 60 if they don't calm down.

@saucenaopls @TwitterSupport How? How did a complaint from the caption get to this type of issue?

@TwitterSupport after weeks of no response. I am requesting help for the recovery and deletion of my old account @Mr_Dub1 I can still login to it but the email has been deactivated and can't be reopened. Please respond back!! I no longer wish to be on social media!
- Blair (@blair8000a) reported
@DavidSweetMP This is factually untrue. I’m surprised @TwitterSupport hasn’t asked this guy to take down his inaccurate & potentially harmful tweet. I’m further shocked that @erinotoole hasn’t sanctioned this guy. Comparing a stay at home order to an internment camp shows his ignorance.
- andmit (@andmitTV) reported
@ALTRN8MUSIC I typically don't see tweets from a muted account but if I do it's usually because someone I follow interacted with it. If it's a pretty consistent issue, try reaching out to @TwitterSupport
- Sugar Bear (@Sugar_Bear) reported
@TwitterSupport What is the problem? Why am I not getting texts anymore? #InTwitterHell #TwitterSucks

Good day, @TwitterSupport my account @daisyphilen is not showing in search suggestion. Please fix this issue ASAP. I use this account for work. Thank you.
- Simon Benvenutto (@benvenutto) reported
@TwitterSupport lovelies, it appears that on iOS 14.4.2 (18D70) sharing a tweet into messages/iMessages has issues, most of the content just disappears, feels like something broke (but it’s there). On iPhone 7. Ta🙏

@TwitterSupport Its 4/25 and its still not loading my notifications and i'm still having issues logging in.
- G Roy (@GRoy01951128) reported
@TwitterSupport if a person deletes his tweet due technical or typographical error why do you uncessarily display it in the twitter for others' view. It causes embarrassment to the person who deleted the tweet. I requested you earlier to give relief. Next request will be bitter.
