Re: [twitter-dev] How to find the frequency of messages exchanged between 2 users
Direct messages are by nature supposed to be private between sender and receiver (and vice versa). My understanding is that they cannot be accessed by anyone apart from those authorised to access them (account holders). If I am worng in this assumption, I have two years worth of scurrilous if not libellous DMs to clear up fast. @mentions are another matter, but there is no api call to find them.

It is highly unlikely you will be permitted to do so by people who don't have a legal contract with you. And that agreement should *clearly* specify * what is permitted and forbidden, and * *penalties* for breaking that agreement. That's the world we now live in - get used to it. This whole "click this here button and get nifty stuff for free" attitude is starting to unravel. -- M.

You will have to pull the direct messages and mentions from both users and correlate the data yourself. Abraham On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 12:04, Dushyant wrote: > I am a beginner in twitter API.
