Im writing a script for retrieving the twitter status from ID. To get the id from the public tweets is not my problem. I cannot find the ID from a Direct Message or dm conversation.

Twitter API documentation:

https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/direct_messages/show

GET direct_messages/show

Returns a single direct message, specified by an id parameter. Like the /1.1/direct_messages.format request, this method will include the user objects of the sender and recipient

Does anybody knows how to get the Id parameter from a Direct Message to construct a request for the api?

The script for getting the data is documented here and is working nicely.

Simplest PHP example for retrieving user_timeline with Twitter API version 1.1

Example Request GET 

https://api.twitter.com/1.1/direct_messages/show.json?id=240136858829479936

  • Well, you'd need to select the direct message you want from some kind of list or overview. For example using the [`direct_messages` call](https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/direct_messages) – giorgio Jul 16 '15 at 08:00
