A cursory glance at the API docs makes it appear as if you'd have to page through all of your DMs and count, but the fact that Twitter puts the number of DMs you have on your /home page suggests that value is given some where though I've never seen it.
In the very least, the number of directs is obviously something that Twitter keeps cached/on hand. If I haven't missed it somewhere, and there is no API-based way to receive this value, you can always ask for a method ;) @dougw On Jan 7, 10:33 pm, "Deepak Goyal" <hrdeepa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is there any way to get the total no of direct messages. > > Thanks > Deepak > > On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 7:21 PM, Cameron Kaiser <spec...@floodgap.com> wrote: > > > > Is there a way to fetch the total updates a user did throught the > > > twitter API?
