Twitter API - Sending a Direct Message in C#
I tried writing some code to send a direct message using the Twitter
API. It was a FAIL. I did some searching in google, and found this
method below listed in a google group. I didn't write it, but it
works, so enjoy. I plugged the method into my WCF Service and it just
worked.
[OperationContract]
public void DMSend(string username, string recipient, string tweet)
{
HttpWebRequest req =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://twitter.com/direct_messages/new.xml?user="
+ recipient + "&text=" + tweet);
req.Method = "POST";
req.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
req.ContentLength = 0;
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
WebResponse response = req.GetResponse();
}
