Support to get reactions to message #79

Closed ipimran closed 4 years ago

ipimran commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to get reactions to message ? Current response does not have any attributes which can indicate reaction to DM Message, web version shows message reactions and by which users. This content request has to be indicated in payload or in url ?

Maybe the content is already in the response. It's possible to check with --raw-output option. But, how do you see it included in the text logs? I think it could be very messy to include reactions in the log.

I don't see it in raw o/p either. Web version contains support_reactions=true in url query, tried same in post json payload, did not work.

Not feasible with current approach this flow is using. Found other ways to get that, along with more data. Thank You.

Maybe you can give details for others?

I attempted below request with all required headers and query params https://api.twitter.com/1.1/dm/conversation/.json?query_params...

Response was having: min , max ids, conversation_timeline , message entries, reactions, participant details, user mentions, hashtags , attachment details ... many more objects...

All this in a fine json, easy parsing, no more html/xml handling.

Ah, the API yes. Did you reach any limit while retrieving the messages from the conversations? Not more than 30 days or 3200 messages?

When I created this tool, this was limited to 200 messages using the API.

I think this is not a documented API ( I refer here )

My objective is little different. Not the complete dump. But a periodic collector job (few times a day), and feed that to a processor. Twitter DM APIs are not fetching group DMs (may be does not support yet). Hence this this weird way.

Ok, thanks!
