Hi,

We have succesfully subscribed webhooks for one our testing accounts. The webhooks provide the data in wrong format though, except the direct messages.

For example, when creating a new tweet, the format is NOT like described here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/accounts-and-users/subscribe-account-activity/guides/account-activity-data-objects#tweet_create_events but in the “old” format:

}

From this format is not easily detected what type of an event that is. Is that a bug on a current system, and are those that are documented something that will follow later on?

Hi @1ron,

The Tweet creation event should look like what is outlined on the documentation page you linked to. When I create a new Tweet using the account I am subscribed to, I am seeing the payload as documented. Could you try unsubscribing then resubscribing to this account and creating a new Tweet with it?

{
	"for_user_id": "2244994945",
	"tweet_create_events": [
	  { 
[Tweet Object]
}]}

Best,
Kevin

Hi,

It works now properly. The mistake was at our end, how we processed the event prematurely :slight_smile:

Sorry for the noise!
