Twitter是否支持聊天机器人的Webhooks，还是应该使用Stream API？

Question

I am trying to build a twitter chat bot which is interactive and replies according to incoming messages from users. Webhook documentation is unclear on how do I receive incoming message notifications. I'm using python.

Answer 1

The new Webhooks format (Account Activity API) is currently only available for Direct Messages. If you have applied for, and been granted, access you can register your webhook receiver and the API will send you incoming direct messages. This API is currently in beta. There's a sample in node on Twitter's developer Github sample repo.

Answer 2

Answering my own question. Webhook isn't needed, after searching for long hours on Twitter Documentation, I made a well working DM bot, it uses Twitter Stream API, and StreamListener class from tweepy, whenever a DM is received, I send requests to REST API which sends DM to the mentioned recipient.
