Twitter API change...?

[gypark]

Hello,

I've been using Net::Twitter::Lite for several years. I want to say thank you at first.

I recently heard a news like this:
https://blog.twitter.com/developer/en_us/topics/tools/2017/announcing-more-functionality-to-improve-customer-engagements-on-twitter.html

I'm afraid that my Perl script would stop working after those API changes are applied.
I'd like to ask if any work is doing on this module.

Thank you.

Are you using the direct message methods? If so, yes, your script will likely quite working. :-/

If it isn't using direct messages, it should continue to work. Twitter still supports rest of the free REST API.

I haven't added support for the new premium APIs, yet. When I do, I'll add them to Twitter::API. Consider a switch to Twitter::API. It's more up-to-date and where new API support will be added. And it's mostly a drop-in replacement for Net::Twitter and Net::Twitter::Lite. See the Migration page in Twitter::API.

Oh, I didn't know about Twitter::API. I'll try it.
(But the problem is I'm using DM method... I will pray for Twitter::API to support the new API soon :)
Thanks for reply!

Wish the Debian package Description would have mention this, or man Net::Twitter::Lite::WithAPIv1_1 would have mentioned this.
