Migration introduction

Migration introduction

We retired the Site Streams, User Streams, and standard beta version of the Account Activity API - DM Only products in 2018. If you had been using those products, please make sure to migrate over to the premium or enterprise version of the Account Activity API.

We have also retired the legacy Direct Message endpoints. If you had been using those endpoints, please make sure to migrate over to either the new DM endpoints, or to the premium or enterprise version of the Account Activity API. 

Please review this announcment to learn more.

Here are the endpoints that will be affected by these changes:

  • User Streams
  • Site Streams
  • GET direct_messages
  • GET direct_messages/sent
  • GET direct_messages/show
  • POST direct_messages/new
  • POST direct_messages/destroy
     

We have new endpoints and services available that provide similar access and, for Direct Messages, some additional functionality:

To help you make a smooth migration to these new endpoints and services we have two migration guides:

Additionally, we have a series of videos about the Account Activity API and how to get started.

And, finally, we have code samples to further your understanding and help you get started quickly:

  • The Account Activity Dashboard is a sample Node.js web app with helper scripts to get started with the Account Activity API.
  • SnowBot is a sample chatbot using the Account Activity API and REST Direct Message endpoints. It’s written in Ruby, uses the Sinatra web app framework, and is deployed on Heroku.
     

If you are building solutions that ingest data and respond in Direct Messages we also have a Building a Customer Engagement Application on X playbook.
