How to send new direct message through Twitter API https://api.twitter.com/1.1/direct_messages/events/new.json?

I am implementing Twitter new Direct message API,
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/direct_messages/events/new.json

I am facing error,
415 Unsupported Media Type

I am able to call it via TWURL tool and currently I am sending simple text message through it.

From error code, I understand that either there is content-type issue or payload is in incorrect format.

I am passing payload as,

options = {
      "event": {
        "type": "message_create",
        "message_create": {
          "target": {
            "recipient_id": "1234"
          },
          "message_data": {
            "text": "test"
          }
        }
      }
    }

Payload is converted to usual Ruby hash, i.e. :key => “value”

{:event=>
  {:type=>"message_create",
   :message_create=>
    {:target=>{:recipient_id=>"1234"},
     :message_data=>{:text=>"test"}}}}

How to preserve third party API request format?

Any suggestion will be great help.

Thanks

    Have you tried setting Content-Type ('application/json')? in your content header before sending?

    It is one of the most common issues.

    You can do so by doing something similar to:

    before_filter :set_content_type
  def set_content_type
    @headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json; charset=utf-8"
  end

    It will force your application to append the Content-Type on each request.

    https://github.com/J7mbo/twitter-api-php/blob/master/TwitterAPIExchange.php

    usa la clase TwitterAPIExchange y aplica estos cambios.

    Yo lo solucione modificando la clase así:

    a la clase TwitterAPIExchange , añade la propiedad

    public $appjson;

    en public function __construct(array $settings) añade la inicialización.

    $this->appjson=false;

    en public function performRequest($return = true, $curlOptions = array())

    remplaza

    $header = array($this->buildAuthorizationHeader($this->oauth), 'Expect:');

    por

    if ($this->appjson) {
$header = array('Content-Type: application/json',$this->buildAuthorizationHeader($this->oauth), 'Expect:');
} else {
$header = array($this->buildAuthorizationHeader($this->oauth), 'Expect:');
}

    para finalizar usa:

    .....
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
......
......
$twitter->appjson=true;
$twitter->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->performRequest(true,
array( CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $params)
);

    I got similar error and it turned out the data format I was sending the request in was a bit wrong. I was using python requests with the following headers:

    HEADERS = {
    'Content-type': 'application/json',
    'Accept': 'application/json'
}

    But still using json.dumps() on the actual data, the request was subsequently inconsistent with bad data, it all worked when I just sent the data without dumps'ing it.

    This might not really help but just check your data integrity.
