interpretation of your request.If you had issued a successful request you would receive rest api error codes best practices as part of your response a request node echoing back your request.Example:GET /0/accounts/abcdefg/campaigns?with_deleted=true{ /* the data of your error codes list response... */, "request": { "params": { "account_id": "abcdefg", "with_deleted": "true" } } } The data field in JSON responses will contain the specific objects associated with the leveraged resource. The format https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/response-codes of the data node will be a JSON array when the response may contain one or more results. It will be returned as JSON hash when only one result is possible in response. In some rare cases, you may see a response that would typically include a collection with a hashmap instead. In this case, assume the single hashmap is an object of https://dev.twitter.com/ads/basics/response-codes the same type as specified in the type field.Error Response StructureError responses are served with a non-200-series HTTP code. Usually a JSON response will be attached, but some errors will respond with different kinds of body. In these circumstances where a response struture cannot be parsed, consider the HTTP code's core meaning to take precedence. For instance, you may occaisionally see a HTTP 404 along with a HTML response. In this case, it's safe to assume that the content cannot be found (HTTP 404 means "Not Found").Typical error responses follow a similar structure to succesful responses. The nature of the error will be communicated in an errors node of the response. The errors/code node will indicate a CAPS_CASE constant error code you can programmatically consume to make resolution decisions from. The errors/message node will indicate a (usually) human-readable description of the error in English. Additional fields may be attached to indicate finer-grained detail about the error.{ "errors": [ { "parameter": "start_time", "details": "invalid date", "code": "INVALID_PARAMETER", "value": "", "message": "Expected time, got \\"\\" for start_time" } ], "request": { "params": { "account_id": "hkk5" }
(among other things, I am updating it from API 1 to 1.1). I'm mostly done, however sending new direct messages just utterly refuses to work. I can send public tweets, and https://twittercommunity.com/t/why-do-i-always-get-403s-when-i-try-to-send-a-direct-message-all-other-api-endpoints-work/10284 I can send replies, and I can receive direct messages, but I cannot send them. http://mashable.com/2013/10/17/twitter-dm-link-glitch/ I've scoured the API docs, and I've found various different potential meanings for a 403 error. One page suggested that 403s would be given in response to duplicate requests -- well i've tried many different direct messages that could not be considered duplicates. Another page suggested that I don't have DM permissions -- well I can access error codes direct_messages.json and direct_messages/sent.json, so I seem to have that permission. I really don't understand why this isn't working, and I'd appreciate it if somebody could look into it for me. The code is here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~robru/gwibber/twitter/view/1486/gwibber/gwibber/protocols/twitter.py#L198 Note that all other methods defined in that class demonstrably work, and I have tested them on my live twitter account with success. It is only direct_messages/new that is giving me 403s and I have no idea why. error forbidden twitter What have I done wrong here? Thanks! episod 2012-10-04 14:27:33 UTC #2 Have you examined the response body that comes with that HTTP 403? We tend to provide more informative errors if you examine the body. When attempting to send a direct message, is the target a user that the authenticating user is allowed to send a direct message to? Looking at your connection code, it looks like you're making some assumptions that aren't necessarily true -- in geturl (which could have a better name since it performs more than just getting URLs), you determine whether to perform a POST or not based on whether there is data -- in the Twitter API there are plenty of methods that you'll want to use a POST on but not necessarily have data to provide. It'd be best for you to make setting the HTTP method more explicit. therealrobru 2012-10-04 16:42:04 UTC #3 Thanks for the quick response. Turns out the people I was trying to message weren't following me, and that's not allowed. Didn't realize that was the case. After I messaged somebody who followed me, it worked fine. As for POST/GET, I can pass an empty dict into that method to trigger a "POST with no data", it's smart enough for that. Thanks again! KalyanSharm

By Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai2013-10-17 20:53:22 UTC Some Twitter users have been unable to send direct messages containing links, according to multiple reports. The issue, which was first reported on Wednesday night, comes a few days after the social network rolled out a new option that lets you send direct messages to anyone, even those not following you. This new feature led to speculation that Twitter was blocking links in direct messages to stop spam spread via URLs contained in direct messages, perhaps by hacked accounts. See also: How Twitter’s New DM Will Impact Brand Marketing On Thursday, Twitter posted a note on its direct message help page, stating that the glitch was due to technical issues. "We're restructuring back-end elements of our direct message system. As a result, users may be unable to send some URLs in direct messages. We apologize for the inconvenience," the note read. However, we wouldn't be surprised if the link-blocking was Twitter's response to a deluge in spam links sent via direct message. Twitter did not respond to our request for comment. "Twitter has a lot of security issues," Andrea Stroppa, an hacker and security researchers who has exposed the businesses of social spam on Facebook and fake Twitter followers, told Mashable. "It's spammers' and phishers' favorite platform." According to reports and our own tests, it seems that verified users can indeed send links via direct message, even to non-verified users. But non-verified users can only send certain links — presumably white-listed ones from websites like Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. On TweetDeck, trying to send a Mashable link via DM returns the following error message: "There was an error sending your message: Text contains malware." On Twitter's web site, a reply to the same direct message simply reads: "Sorry, an error occurred while sending this message." Social spam is an increasing problem. In the first half of 2013, the amount
