Twitter API with JavaScript: delete tweet

Question

I’m currently building an meteor app which should make use of the twitter API. Therefor I’m using the mrt:twit meteor package (https://atmospherejs.com/mrt/twit).

I have created an app at https://apps.twitter.com with my twitter account and I’m using my consumer_key, consumer_secret, oauth_access_token and oauth_access_token_secret within the meteor app.

What is working: I can query tweets and access all data available. I can also post tweets.

Whats not working: I cannot delete a tweet. I get this message:

 { [Error: Your credentials do not allow access to this resource]
 message: 'Your credentials do not allow access to this resource',
 statusCode: 403,
 code: 220,
 allErrors:
 [ { message: 'Your credentials do not allow access to this resource',
 code: 220 } ],
 twitterReply: '{"errors":[{"message":"Your credentials do not allow access to this resource","code":220}]}' }

My code looks like this:

'deleteSingleTweet': function(tweet_id) {
 Twit = new TwitMaker({
 consumer_key: consumer_key,
 consumer_secret: consumer_secret,
 access_token: oauth_access_token,
 access_token_secret: oauth_access_token_secret
 });
 const DeleteSingleTweetPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
 Twit.get(`statuses/destroy/${tweet_id}`, function(err, data, response) {
 if (err) {
 reject(err);
 } else {
 resolve(data);
 }
 });
 });
 DeleteSingleTweetPromise
 .then(data => {
 console.log(data);
 })
 .catch(err => {
 console.log(err);
 });
}

Has anybody an idea what I'm doing wrong here?

• Dex: Did you figure this out?
• J J: Unfortunately not. I paused the small project also and didn’t invest much more time. In the meantime the twitter API changes also. I‘m not sure if this works after all. I guess Twitter doesn‘t want that this works anyway.
• Dex: I did not see it in the documentation.
• Scala Enthusiast: I think the only problem you have here is that you are using Twit.get() when it should be a post.
