I needed to integrate an application into Twitpic for uploading pictures related to a Tweet.

So after spending a few hours reading over there API spec, I’ve created a simple class library for accessing Twitpics 2 remote calls:

Class Twitpic:

public Twitpic(byte[] media, string twitterUsername, string twitterPassword)

public TwitpicResponse UploadAndPost(string message)

public TwitpicResponse Upload()

Here’s a simple example using this class:

/* how you get an image to bytes is up to you */

ImageLoader img = new ImageLoader();

byte[] imageBits = img.ReadImage(thumbUrl);

/* i'm just downloading an image into a byte[] in this example */

Twitpic tp = new Twitpic(imageBits, AppSettings.TwitterUsername, AppSettings.TwitterPassword);

TwitpicResponse resp = tp.Upload();

imgThumb.ImageUrl = resp.MediaUrl;

In this simple example, I’m downloading an image off the web into a byte array. That array will be uploaded to Twitpic and if successful, you’ll get a TwitpicResponse which provides properties to access this uploaded image. Otherwise a TwitpicException may be raised indicating the error response received from the Twitpic API.
