Method: Twitter::Status.create

Defined in:
lib/vendor/twitter/lib/twitter/model.rb

.create(params) ⇒ Object

Creates a new status for the authenticated user of the given client context.

You MUST include a valid/authenticated client context in the given params argument.

For example:

status = Twitter::Status.create(
  :text => 'I am shopping for flip flops',
  :client => client)

An ArgumentError will be raised if no valid client context is given in the params Hash. For example,

status = Twitter::Status.create(:text => 'I am shopping for flip flops')

The above line of code will raise an ArgumentError.

The same is true when you do not provide a :text key-value pair in the params argument given.

The Twitter::Status object returned after the status successfully updates on the Twitter server side is returned from this method.

Raises:
