python-twitter: twitter.error.TwitterError: [{'code': 34, 'message': 'Sorry, that page does not exist.'}]

Whenever I make a request with the api to fetch Direct Messages api.GetDirectMessages(), it always throws me a twittererror with the message “Sorry, that page does not exist.”

Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/neela/Desktop/Programs/python projects/Mine/DM Storage/login.py", line 13, in <module>
    logging.info(api.GetDirectMessages())
  File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\twitter\api.py", line 2937, in GetDirectMessages
    data = self._ParseAndCheckTwitter(resp.content.decode('utf-8'))
  File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\twitter\api.py", line 4908, in _ParseAndCheckTwitter
    self._CheckForTwitterError(data)
  File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\twitter\api.py", line 4928, in _CheckForTwitterError
    raise TwitterError(data['errors'])
twitter.error.TwitterError: [{'code': 34, 'message': 'Sorry, that page does not exist.'}]

I tried looking through #592 , but it was closed at Nov. 2018, and the new endpoints should have been implemented. There have been four months since the closure, and how has there not been enough time to update the API endpoints?

Hi guys, the Error is caused by the old version of pip package, in the pip version the function GetDirectMessages uses an old URL, you can change that for the new url. Step 1: find api.py file run pip show python-twitter and see the path

Step 2: find the old url in api.py, line 2922

Step 3: change that line with url = ‘%s/direct_messages/events/list.json’ % self.base_url

This plus return_json=True made it work for me

@DVRodri8 So you mean update the package?

here’s a quick hack to be able to use json: https://github.com/TrustedCapsules/python-twitter/commit/e0c90859e136a833d5bf7264438718f1b0cf85c2

The DirectMessage class needs to be updated (see https://github.com/TrustedCapsules/python-twitter/blob/e0c90859e136a833d5bf7264438718f1b0cf85c2/twitter/models.py#L180)

Honestly if I knew how a token was received and then requested to the API I could send a push request to fix it.
