GET statuses/show/<id> not formulated correctly #36

Closed dimitrakopoulou closed 8 years ago

Hi all, Thank you for this great tool. At the moment, we are using Facepager to get individual Tweets by status id. We have noticed that the API call GET statuses/show/ is not formulated correctly having an extra slash between show and .json. https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/show/.json?id=xxxxxxxxxxx The issues seems to be in “apimodules.py" line 623 in options["query"] Thank you for resolving this. Dimitra

Thanks for your message.Unfortunately I can not reproduce this behavior, at least not in the master branch. As I read the documentation the canonical way to retrieve individual tweets by id would be:

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/show/xxxxxxxxxxx.json

This works with Facepager by setting Resource to statuses/show/<id> and parameter id to <Object ID>.

Your way to formulate the request should be perfectly well being achieved by setting Resource to statuses/show.json?id=<id> and parameter id to <Object ID>.

Maybe it has been an issue in former versions, as the binaries are not always up to date?
