That’s tremendously exciting – could you provide a link?

https://dev.twitter.com/rest/direct-messages is the landing page for the new Direct Message API features.

The new dm also have started 403ing today when creating dms. Any issues?

It’s still a beta, although the functionality is widely available. I’ll have to check in as to whether there’s a known issue right now. Are the 403s consistent, attached to a specific function / operation?

As mentioned on Twitter I wasn’t sending Content-Length and it did work without that but now requires it. Working again

Thanks for this - we’ve made this clear in the Ads API docs, but not so much in the rest of the documentation so far. As more of the endpoints move towards a JSON body this will become more common. We’ve made a note to clarify, and apologise for the confusion here.

No problem had a few issues with my objective c library and oauth json body but now i seem to have resolved it. Needs to have content-type and content-length http headers
