Description

There has been a change in twitter APIs. On September 17^th^, twitter discontinued the legacy direct message endpoints.

https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/direct-messages/sending-and-receiving/guides/direct-message-migration.html

There are three sendDirectMessage methods provided by twitter4j API.

http://twitter4j.org/oldjavadocs/4.0.7/twitter4j/api/DirectMessagesResources.html#sendDirectMessage(long,%20java.lang.String,%20long)

 

 

DirectMessage	sendDirectMessage(long userId, java.lang.String text) Sends a new direct message to the specified user from the authenticating user.
DirectMessage	sendDirectMessage(long userId, java.lang.String text, long mediaId) Sends a new direct message to the specified user from the authenticating user.
DirectMessage	sendDirectMessage(java.lang.String screenName, java.lang.String text) Sends a new direct message to the specified user from the authenticating user.

 

The first two methods use the new endpoints(direct_messages/events/new), while the third one uses the old APIs(direct_messages/new)

 

 

Camel twitter component uses the third method to send direct message (using screen name).

This needs to be changed in order to support direct message sending to twitter
