Twitter?

Has anyone tried created a twitter upload routine with macroscheduler? (Third party question, I don't use the site myself.)

There's a Twitter API. But if you were logged in and set it to remember you all you need do is browse to a URL that looks like this:

http://twitter.com/home/?status=Uploaded by Macro Scheduler

So you could just ExecuteFile it. Or do it silently with a bit of VBScript:

Code: Select all

VBSTART
Sub OpenPageWaitAndQuit(URL)
  Dim IE
  Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
  IE.visible = 0
  IE.navigate URL
  do while IE.Busy
  loop
  IE.Quit
End Sub
VBEND
VBRun>http://twitter.com/home/?status=Uploaded by Macro Scheduler

As stated that assumes you have IE set to remember you. Otherwise I guess you'll need to use the Twitter API:

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like it might work directly with HTTP POST, and it does work with CURL which would be pretty easy to automate.

I note that you have recently posted a POST solution in your blog http://www.mjtnet.com/blog/2009/04/20/t ... itter-api/
