Direct Messages API

[zhombie]

Is it possible to work with direct messages API?

[odrling]

Hello !
Yes, but it doesn't look nice right now. Direct Messages API uses JSON and the only way to do it currently is to prepare the data and send it as the _json parameter in the request.

That should work since it is actually in the tests but it doesn't look really nice:

peony-twitter/tests/test_twitter.py

Lines 214 to 236 in e16495e

	message = {
	'event': {
	'type': "message_create",
	'message_create': {
	'target': {'recipient_id': user.id},
	'message_data': {
	'text': "test %d" % time.time(),
	'quick_reply': {
	'type': "options",
	'options': [
	{'label': "Hello",
	'description': "Hello",
	'metadata': "foo"},
	{'label': "World",
	'description': "World",
	'metadata': "bar"}
	]
	}
	}
	}
	}
	}
	await oauth1_client.api.direct_messages.events.new.post(_json=message)

I have to think about another way to work with these endpoints because clearly peony doesn't work well with json requests ^^"

thank u for your response & lib.

that's why i have asked this question, i couldn't find mention about sending data as json. but the main thing that it works)

[zhombie]

u can close the issue, the answer satisfies my needs. but if u want to implement direct messages handler, u can just leave issue open as notification)

@odrling hello, again. what about uploading media? it returns an exception "Could not authenticate you.", even if i run with code from documentation.

[odrling]

Oh sorry I missed this message.
Picture uploads should still work I see that the tests are still running fine after all this time.

[odrling]

Oh I see one difference with the documentation, I don't think that should change anything but I didn't put the media_id in a list like it is in the documentation.

peony-twitter/tests/test_twitter.py

Lines 207 to 208 in e16495e

	await oauth1_client.api.statuses.update.post(status="",
	media_ids=media.media_id)
