[twitter-dev] Question and/or Feature Request: in-reply-to-direct-message-id for DMs

[Michael Steuer]

Hi Twitter, Twitter Developers,

Let me start with the question: is there a good reason why the  
payload for direct_messages doesn’t have a “in-reply-to-direct- 
message-id”, just like the “in-reply-to-status-id” for status  
updates? I know that for my use cases, and I’m sure for some of your 
s, it’d be helpful to know if a DM was a reply to an earlier one, or 
 a new DM to the recipient.


So here’s the feature request: can we pretty please have a “in- 
reply-to-direct-message-id” in the DM API payload? And if you consid 
er this a reasonable request, how long do you think that would take ;)


THANK YOU!

Michael.

I'd suggest opening a new issue on the Twitter API bug/enhancement tracker so 
others can 'star' it to show interest:
