How to POST direct message using Twitter REST API in SWIFT 4
I want to implement to send direct message to my twitter friends using Twitter REST API. I am getting all my friends id and put invite button for sending a message from my app.
Following is the function call I am using -
func sendInviteMessage(_ client: TWTRAPIClient, recepientID: String)
let statusesShowEndpoint = " https://api.twitter.com/1.1/direct_messages/events/new.json"
let params = ["recipient_id": recepientID,"message_data":"Hello","type":"message_create"]
var clientError : NSError?
let request = client.urlRequest(withMethod: "POST", urlString: statusesShowEndpoint, parameters: params, error: &clientError)
client.sendTwitterRequest(request) (response, data, connectionError) -> Void in
if connectionError != nil
print("Error: (String(describing: connectionError?.localizedDescription))")
do
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: )
print("json: (json)")
catch let jsonError as NSError
print("json error: (jsonError.localizedDescription)")
When I tap invite button it gives me unsupported url response.

Pro tip: it looks like most of your questions are this sort of length, and they are just not a good fit for Stack Overflow. We expect questions to set out a problem in detail, and to show something that was tried, or some other prior research/effort. You may find that if a number of your earlier (off-topic) questions are put on hold - and many of them should be - an automatic question ban may be applied to your account.

In this case, you could put your title into a search engine and research the problem yourself. You could then try piece of code, make an effort to understand how they work, and ask a question if you run into a problem.

params is wrong. And you can use MutableURLRequest.
params
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/direct-messages/sending-and-receiving/api-reference/new-event#example-request
let params = [
"event": [
"type":"message_create",
"message_create": [
"target": ["recipient_id": recepientID],
"message_data": ["text": "Hello"]
]
]
]
var request = client.urlRequest(withMethod: "POST",
urlString: statusesShowEndpoint,
parameters: nil,
error: &clientError)
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: params, options: )
Ah, setting parameters: to nil and using request.httpBody really helped me out here. Thanks!
