Hi,

My application has been registered as read/write for about six hours but I'm still prevented from tweeting via the api:

"Read-only application cannot POST"

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Did you regenerate access keys after upgrading your app?

Thanks... The problem was that the email address I used for the parent Twitter account wasn't confirmed

You set your access level to read only, which means it can't POST status updates.

You'll need to set your application as read-write to POST status updates (and perform any other POST operations).

You'll also need to renegotiate your access token so that it bears the upgraded permissions.

I am authorized OK but getting 'Read-only application cannot POST' when trying to set status.
I did set my app to Read and Write and hit update applications' settings
I did Reset my Keys.
Any Ideas?

Just working through my first tweepy application and was running into the same problems! Here's what worked for me!

  1. On the 'Settings' tab, change your application type to anything other than 'Read Only'
  2. On the 'Reset keys' tab, just reset your keys... not fun, but just do it
  3. Copy your keys from the 'OAuth tool' into your code

Mine took about 15 minutes to actually work, guessing its the twitter side of things gearing up for the changes but it worked for me!

Good luck!
