HTTP wrappers & custom signed requests

Note about URL prefixes: .v1 and .v2 accessors are here for two reasons; let you access some endpoint wrappers, and auto-prefix your requests when you use HTTP-method wrappers.

Check in the basics what are the defined URL prefixes for .v1 and .v2. If your endpoint request URL doesn't start with those prefixes, you must specify it manually!

Use the direct HTTP methods wrappers

If the endpoint-wrapper for your request has not been made yet, don't leave! You can make requests on your own!

  • .get and .delete, that takes (partialUrl: string, query?: TRequestQuery, requestSettings?: TGetClientRequestArgs) in parameters
  • .post, .put and .patch that takes (partialUrl: string, body?: TRequestBody, requestSettings?: TGetClientRequestArgs) in parameters
// Don't forget the .json in most of the v1 endpoints!
client.v1.get('statuses/user_timeline.json', { user_id: 14 });

// or, for v2
client.v2.get('users/14/tweets');

Specify request args

Sometimes, you need to customize request settings (API prefix, body mode, response mode). You can pass request options through the third parameter of HTTP methods wrappers.

// [prefix]
// Customize API prefix (prefix that will be prepended to URL in first argument)
client.v1.post('media/upload.json', { media: Buffer.alloc(1024) }, { prefix: 'https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/' })

// [forceBodyMode]
// Customize body mode (if automatic body detection don't work)
// Body mode can be 'url', 'form-data', 'json' or 'raw' [only with buffers]
client.v1.post('statuses/update.json', { status: 'Hello' }, { forceBodyMode: 'url' })

// [fullResponse]
// Obtain the full response object with rate limits
const res = await client.v1.get('statuses/home_timeline.json', undefined, { fullResponse: true })
console.log(res.rateLimit, res.data)

// [headers]
// Customize sent HTTP headers
client.v1.post('statuses/update.json', { status: 'Hello' }, { headers: { 'X-Custom-Header': 'My Header Value' } })
