Getting "Bad request" when trying to post a tweet [nodejs]

[SamaaElKomy]

I'm exploring the Twitter API integrated with Nodejs, currently trying to post a tweet using the example provided "Twitter-API-v2-sample-code/Manage-Tweets/create_tweet.js" but getting error "Bad request".
I only changed the consumer_key and consumer_secret with mine.

To Reproduce

1. Use "Twitter-API-v2-sample-code/Manage-Tweets/create_tweet.js" file code.
2. replace consumer_key and consumer_secret with the needed values.
3. run.

Expected behavior
get the "Hello World" tweet posted successfully.

Output

Have you tried using a previous version of got? see: #76

I also suggest you check const id = "..."; and be sure your user ID value is correct. You can find a user ID by using the user lookup endpoint.

I did try to run this code and found that it did not work. The error I got was this:
const got = require('got');
^
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module
/testwit/node_modules/got/dist/source/index.js from
/testwit/example2.js not supported.

Instead change the require of index.js in /testwit/example2.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

at Object.<anonymous> (/testwit/example2.js:1:13) {

code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'
}

Made these changes to the declarations at the top of the file and added "type":"module" to the package.json and it worked successfully:
import got from 'got';
import crypto from 'crypto';
import OAuth from 'oauth-1.0a';
import qs from 'querystring';
import rl from 'readline';

const readline = rl.createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout
});

@SamaaElKomy, I think it might be something with your keys as to why you got that particular error.
