How to send a POST request with OAUTH in Lua
So I want to tweet on Twitter by sending a POST request to the Twitter API.
I have not found a simple way to do this (unless I use a wrapper), and I'm not too experienced with Lua.
This is Twitter's own example using curl:
$ curl --request POST
--url 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json?
status=Test%20tweet%20using%20the%20POST%20statuses%2Fupdate%20endpoint'
--header 'authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key="YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY",
oauth_nonce="AUTO_GENERATED_NONCE", oauth_signature="AUTO_GENERATED_SIGNATURE",
oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_timestamp="AUTO_GENERATED_TIMESTAMP",
oauth_token="USERS_ACCESS_TOKEN", oauth_version="1.0"'
--header 'content-type: application/json'
But from some wrappers I've seen, it seems that you can use:
consumer_key
consumer_secret
access_token
access_token_secret
I just want a simple way of tweeting without being able to have all of the other API functionality that the Twitter API has. So no wrapper or anything. Just a simple script, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Use a specialized Lua library for Twitter, e.g. https://github.com/leafo/lua-twitter
luarocks install https://luarocks.org/manifests/leafo/twitter-dev-1.rockspec
or a more general Lua library for OAuth, e.g. https://github.com/ignacio/LuaOAuth and do the rest yourself.

Bearer needs libcurl 7.61.0. So you could write a function to handle the OAuth 2.0 with several requests.
