Twitter API: Can't post tweet with media and media parameter is missing when checking status of upload

Question

I am trying to upload a video with text to Twitter using API. To accomplish that, I am using this PHP library - https://github.com/jublo/codebird-php and I followed this tutorial - https://joelennon.com/posting-large-videos-to-twitter-in-php-with-codebird.

My final code is similar to the tutorial:-

$file = fopen('svid.mp4', 'rb');
$size = fstat($file)['size'];

$media = $twitter->media_upload([
    'command' => 'INIT',
    'media_type' => 'video/mp4',
    'media_category' => 'tweet_video',
    'total_bytes' => $size,
]);

$mediaId = $media->media_id_string;
$segmentId = 0;
while (!feof($file)) {
    $chunk = fread($file, 4 * 1024 * 1024);

    $media = $twitter->media_upload([
        'command' => 'APPEND',
        'media_id' => $mediaId,
        'segment_index' => $segmentId,
        'media' => $chunk,
    ]);

    $segmentId++;
}

fclose($file);
$media = $twitter->media_upload([
    'command' => 'FINALIZE',
    'media_id' => $mediaId,
]);

var_dump($media);
if(isset($media->processing_info)) {
    $info = $media->processing_info;
    if($info->state != 'succeeded') {
        $attempts = 0;
        $checkAfterSecs = $info->check_after_secs;
        $success = false;
        do {
            $attempts++;
            sleep($checkAfterSecs);

            $media = $twitter->media_upload([
                'command' => 'STATUS',
                'media_id' => $mediaId,
            ]);

            $procInfo = $media->processing_info;

            if($procInfo->state == 'succeeded' || $procInfo->state == 'failed') {
                break;
            }

            $checkAfterSecs = $procInfo->check_after_secs;
        } while($attempts <= 10);
    }
}

$params = [
    'status' => 'This is the text of your tweet!',
    'media_ids' => $mediaId,
];

$tweet = $twitter->statuses_update($params);

Now, once the upload is complete, the var_dump looks like this:-

object(stdClass)#7 (8) { ["media_id"]=> int(1879869571785728000) ["media_id_string"]=> string(19) "1879869571785728000" ["media_key"]=> string(21) "7_1879869571785728000" ["size"]=> int(2848208) ["expires_after_secs"]=> int(86400) ["processing_info"]=> object(stdClass)#5 (2) { ["state"]=> string(7) "pending" ["check_after_secs"]=> int(1) } ["httpstatus"]=> int(200) ["rate"]=> object(stdClass)#10 (3) { ["limit"]=> string(3) "615" ["remaining"]=> string(3) "605" ["reset"]=> string(10) "1737032398" } }

As you can see, the state is pending. So, it won't be possible to post with the following code - $tweet = $twitter->statuses_update($params);. So, I tried running this to check out the issue:-

$media = $twitter->media_upload([
    'command' => 'STATUS',
    'media_id' => '1879869571785728000',
]);

This throws the following:-

object(stdClass)#6 (3) { ["errors"]=> array(1) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#9 (2) { ["code"]=> int(38) ["message"]=> string(27) "media parameter is missing." } } ["httpstatus"]=> int(400) ["rate"]=> object(stdClass)#11 (3) { ["limit"]=> string(3) "415" ["remaining"]=> string(3) "391" ["reset"]=> string(10) "1737032321" } }

I have tried researching this, but, haven't found a solution. Now, here are the issues I am facing, summarised:-

1. media parameter is missing when checking status of upload. So, I have no way of knowing if the upload was successful and processed successfully.
2. $tweet = $twitter->statuses_update($params); doesn't work, even with the media_ids removed (i.e., only text). I tried adding a tweet with two other libraries (https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth and https://github.com/noweh/twitter-api-v2-php). In both these cases, simple text works, but, with media it doesn't work. But, I have been trying to migrate to Codebird because of the ease of doing chunked uploads.
3. I tried running the media id through https://docs.x.com/x-api/mediaupload/media-upload-status?playground=open to get its status, but, it has been throwing 404 everytime regardless of the endpoint. I have tried every combination of Oauth client and secret, consumer/API key and secret and authorisation token in the authorisation string blank, but everytime, it just throws a 404.

Can someone point me in the right direction and tell me what I am doing wrong?

UPDATE 1: Fixed media parameter is missing

Source - https://github.com/jublo/codebird-php/issues/260

$media = $twitter->media_upload([
    'command' => 'STATUS',
    'media_id' => $mediaId,
    'httpmethod' => 'GET'
]);
