Hi there, This is actually a different error than your library may be leading you to believe -- the library is suggesting that the 403 may be due to rate limiting, but in this case it's actually due to a recent permission model change.
The permission model gas change whereas requesting a user's direct messages now requires a re-authorization at the appropriate access request level (RWD). You can read more about the new permission model and what to do next here: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/application-permission-model .. @episod <http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=episod> - Taylor Singletary On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 1:35 PM, YupiqDZ <mrclea...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm currently in the process of writing an application which > periodically gets directed messages from a user (once every 120 > seconds checks if the user has new messages). > > The API I am using is the Twitter4j library in Java.
