Retrieving Media (Direct Messages)

[thesrs02]

I couldn't find any endpoint wrapper for Retrieving Media (Direct Messages)

Is there a way to get the media using this library or do we need to build this part on our own?

Thanks in advance!

Yep, no wrapper exists for ton.twitter.com, you're right!

You can download them using the lib, with a little trick it should work.
This isn't optimal, but I welcome it as a feature request!

// login with OAuth1.0a
const client = new TwitterApi({ appKey: '', appSecret: '', accessToken: '', accessSecret: '' })

// Get your dms
// ...

// Download a media protected by OAuth
const imgRaw = await client.get<string>(dm.media_url_https, undefined, { prefix: '' })
const imgAsBuffer = Buffer.from(imgRaw)

// use/save imgAsBuffer

Tell me if it works :)
