How to create a custom query to insert quick reply buttons in direct messages

[lcumra]

Hi, Linvi!

I'm working with tweetinvi to create a DM chatbot, and I'd find it great to have some quick reply buttons in DM, which doesn't seem so hard on Twitter's repository but it turns out to be a nightmare when I try to implement it. Is there already a way to do so through tweetinvi? any hint on how I might do, maybe with a custom query?

Thank you so much!

Hello,

The new DM endpoints will be implemented in version 2.3. In the meantime you can indeed use Tweetinvi custom queries.

Great!

For the time being, I tried

Auth.SetUserCredentials(consumerKey, consumerSecret, userAccessToken, userAccessSecret);
            var authenticatedUser = User.GetAuthenticatedUser();

and I got

 // works 
TwitterAccessor.ExecuteGETQueryReturningJson("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json?screen_name=tweetinviapi"); 

now the DM stuff... This json, with twurl works and buttons appear as expected.

                var js =
                    "{ 'event': { 'type': 'message_create', 'message_create': { 'target': { 'recipient_id': '1234567 }, 'sender_id': '9876543', 'message_data': { 'text': 'do you like buttons?', 'quick_reply': { 'type': 'options', 'options': [ { 'label': 'Ieeee', 'metadata': 'external_id_1', 'description': 'Cool!' }, { 'label': 'WOW!', 'metadata': 'external_id_2', 'description': 'Great Scott!!!!' } ] } } } } }";

                var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(js);
                var encoded = WebUtility.HtmlEncode(data.ToString());
                var url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/direct_messages/events/new.json";

// returns false 
                var test1 = TwitterAccessor.TryPOSTJsonContent(url, js);                 

// both test 2 and 2 return 
// error 401 Unauthorized

                var test2 = TwitterAccessor.ExecutePOSTQueryReturningJson($"{url}?{encoded}"); // error 401 Unauthorized
                var test3 = TwitterAccessor.ExecutePOSTQuery<IMessageDTO> ($"{url}?{encoded}");

Do you spot any mistake I might fix? Thank you again!
