direct_message

[developerk001]

I am trying to use direct_message event but it is not working or not working as i expect. I think "direct_message" event will fetch data if someone send message to me. But its not working any help.

const config = require("./config");
const twit = new Twit(config);
const stream = twit.stream("user");
stream.on("direct_message", msg => {
  console.log("It Worked!");
});

@developerk786 is this the only code you're running? And to confirm, someone is sending a DM to your account and you're not seeing this callback being called, is that right?

If you call twit.get('direct_messages', ...) does it return the direct messages you expected to see?

@developerk786 That solution will not work, the API has changed for Direct Messages. See this
