Hi,<\/p>\n

In my recent grails project, i worked on integrating twitter API with the application. I used Twitter4j<\/a> (a java wrapper for twitter API calls), to integrate the application and use the API calls. You can refer this blog<\/a> to see how we can integrate the grails application with Twitter.<\/p>\n

<\/pre>\n
For making any API calls we need to have twitter account access_token<\/strong> and access_secret<\/strong>, which we obtains after authorizing\/connecting twitter account with the application as mentioned in this blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
<\/pre>\n
Pre-Requirements:-<\/strong><\/p>\n
[java]
\n       String consumerKey = CONSUMER_KEY \/\/ key obtained after registering app.
\n       String consumerSecret =CONSUMER_SECRET \/\/ secret key obtained from the registered app.
\n       String twitterToken = USER_TWITTER_TOKEN
\n       \/\/ access_token received by authentication user’s twitter account
\n       String twitterSecret= USER_TWITTER_SECRET
\n        \/\/ access_secret obtained by authentication user’s twitter account
\n       String directMessage=’Hi, this is just a test message.’
\n       String twitterName = \/\/ twitter name of the receiver.<\/p>\n
[\/java]<\/p>\n
<\/pre>\n
Code to send direct message to Twitter User:-<\/strong><\/p>\n
[java]<\/p>\n
        TwitterFactory factory = new TwitterFactory()
\n        Twitter twitter = factory.getInstance()
\n        twitter.setOAuthConsumer(consumerKey, consumerSecret)
\n        AccessToken accessToken = new AccessToken(twitterToken, twitterSecret)
\n        twitter.setOAuthAccessToken(accessToken)
\n        DirectMessage directMessage = twitter.sendDirectMessage(twitterName, directMessage)<\/p>\n
[\/java]<\/p>\n
So, the above code will send a direct message to the twitter user provided using API.
\nThis worked for me.
\nHope it helps.<\/p>\n
