Twitter plans to sunset the REST and Stream APIs on Tuesday June 19, 2018. I could see this gem is being heavily relied on them. Will this gem work even after June 19,2018? Can we rely on creating new Twitter bots using this gem now?

As above, we rely heavily on the direct_messages endpoints and would like to know if there is any plan for updating this gem to use the new direct_messages/events endpoints as outlined in the migration guide?

Is there a link to support the bit about the REST API being turned off? I saw something about switching off streaming and direct messaging endpoints but not REST as a whole.

Thanks.

The overall REST API endpoints are not going away. The specific endpoints that are being sunset (and replaced with new, more advanced alternatives) are the Direct Message REST endpoints.
