Twitter In ARC

Hi,

I try to use some twitter functionalities in ARC but I encounter some difficulties.

I have configured my account in Option/Twitter in ARC with no problem, but after that nothing works, neither the Twitter Recognition, nor the Tweet script. Each time I have an error message as you can see in the capture (1 is for Twitter Recognition ; 2 is for the script)

So, I need some help... Thanks

I haven't used Twitter for a while since Melvin is undergoing some big changes but a quick test just threw back

Quote:

Error on line 1: Exception of type 'System.Exception' was thrown.
when I tried to use the code

Tweet("Test")

You aren't alone on this issue. I'll have a better look into it if I can get Melvin running as I know his camera tweet script worked previously.

Update: Melvin's twitter posting scripts throw the same error and do not post to twitter. They have been working previously (June 6th being the last time it successfully posted to twitter but that may have been the last time I tried it) so I can only assume something to do with either twitter itself or the twitter script commands no longer works as it should.

Can others check this out please? Just set up twitter (if it isn't already linked) and add a script with

Tweet("test")

Hopefully that'll help us solve this problem.

@Rich, Thanks for your help. Lets see if others have the same issue...

In the meantime, is there another simple way in ARC to send a message (an alert) through Internet when an event takes place?

Update: Tweet() throws the same errors in the previous version (I haven't updated the laptop yet). I will try my office PC shortly and see if it throws the error on that one (not updated for a while either).

Update: version 2012.06.06.00 throws the error too.

I'm looking into it now. Twitter keeps changing their API! This has happened a few times in the past... Silly twitter

Thanks @DJ for looking at the issue. I try to make a remote surveillance with sensors and ARC, and so far its going well (it is incredidble all you can do with some sensors, a camera, some leds and scripting in ARC:) ). All I need now is an alerting system and twitter is really a easy way to do it.
