Hi,

I'm not having any troubles with other API calls, but I'm getting a
500 when hitting direct messages:

https://user:pass...@twitter.com/direct_messages.xml

I've tried multiple users with no luck.

Any issues with the API right now?

Thanks!

I'm having the same issue, regardless of user. As with Barry,
everything else is working great.

It's affecting JSON also, and both http: and https:. I imagine the
Twitter guys are awere of it.

We're aware of it. One of our engineers made a change to the SQL
that's behind the direct messages request and it has issues in some
cases. We're working on a fix and it should be out real soon now. On
the upside, it should be faster once it works.

Alex,

The API seems to work again but using the "since_id" parameter still
issue a 500 error.

This should now be corrected as well, thanks for your report.
