Posts status update to user's Twitter account

post_tweet(
  status = "my first rtweet #rstats",
  media = NULL,
  token = NULL,
  in_reply_to_status_id = NULL,
  destroy_id = NULL,
  retweet_id = NULL,
  auto_populate_reply_metadata = FALSE,
  media_alt_text = NULL,
  lat = NULL,
  long = NULL,
  display_coordinates = FALSE
)

`status`	Character, tweet status. Must be 280 characters or less.
`media`	Length 1 character vector with a file path to video media OR up-to length 4 character vector with file paths to static images to be included in tweet. The caller is responsible for managing this.
`token`	Expert use only. Use this to override authentication for a single API call. In most cases you are better off changing the default for all calls. See `auth_as()` for details.
`in_reply_to_status_id`	Status ID of tweet to which you'd like to reply. Note: in line with the Twitter API, this parameter is ignored unless the author of the tweet this parameter references is mentioned within the status text.
`destroy_id`	To delete a status, supply the single status ID here. If a character string is supplied, overriding the default (NULL), then a destroy request is made (and the status text and media attachments) are irrelevant.
`retweet_id`	To retweet a status, supply the single status ID here. If a character string is supplied, overriding the default (NULL), then a retweet request is made (and the status text and media attachments) are irrelevant.
`auto_populate_reply_metadata`	If set to TRUE and used with in_reply_to_status_id, leading @mentions will be looked up from the original Tweet, and added to the new Tweet from there. Defaults to FALSE.
`media_alt_text`	attach additional alt text metadata to the `media` you are uploading. Should be same length as `media` (i.e. as many alt text entries as there are `media` entries). See the official API documentation for more information.
`lat`	A numeric value representing the latitude of the location the tweet refers to. Range should be between -90 and 90 (north). Note that you should enable the "Precise location" option in your account via Settings and privacy > Privacy and Safety > Location. See the official Help Center section.
`long`	A numeric value representing the longitude of the location the tweet refers to. Range should be between -180 and 180 (west). See `lat` parameter.
`display_coordinates`	Put a pin on the exact coordinates a tweet has been sent from. Value should be TRUE or FALSE. This parameter would apply only if you have provided a valid `lat/long` pair of valid values.
