Hi,

I'm building a qml/js app.
I'm now getting direct messages and i'm wondering if there's any way
to get direct messages by sender screen names or id.
IBy now i'm requesting /dirtect_messages.json and /direct_messages/
sent.json and merging the results together to build a tree and i would
really appriciate another easiest way to do it.

Thanks,

Taylor Singletary

The direct message API is a bit more basic than that in that it just provides a way act on individual messages and to page through the user's sent & received direct messages without any kind of advanced filtering techniques (aside from since_id and max_id support). Creating an in memory map and authoring your own filtration routines would be your best bet if you were interested in a feature like this.

No, there is no API method which will do what you are asking for. As
Taylor says, you need build this up for yourself as best you can using
the sent / received DMs endpoints.

Hi

Sorry for my 2nd post, i did not see taylor's answer on my computer.
It's better this way so i can have multiple filtering method for
users.

Thanks
