Answer 1

Here is how to access direct messages for the iOS default Twitter account.

This example uses the STTwitter library, which internally uses SLRequest for phase 2 and a custom crafted request for phase 1.

NSString *CONSUMER_KEY = @"";
NSString *CONSUMER_SECRET = @"";

STTwitterAPI *twitter = [STTwitterAPI twitterAPIWithOAuthConsumerName:nil
                                                          consumerKey:CONSUMER_KEY
                                                       consumerSecret:CONSUMER_SECRET];

[twitter postReverseOAuthTokenRequest:^(NSString *authenticationHeader) {

    STTwitterAPI *twitterAPIOS = [STTwitterAPI twitterAPIOSWithFirstAccount];

    [twitterAPIOS verifyCredentialsWithSuccessBlock:^(NSString *username) {

        [twitterAPIOS postReverseAuthAccessTokenWithAuthenticationHeader:authenticationHeader
                                                            successBlock:^(NSString *oAuthToken,
                                                                           NSString *oAuthTokenSecret,
                                                                           NSString *userID,
                                                                           NSString *screenName) {

                                                                STTwitterAPI *x = [STTwitterAPI twitterAPIWithOAuthConsumerName:nil
                                                                                                                    consumerKey:CONSUMER_KEY
                                                                                                                 consumerSecret:CONSUMER_SECRET
                                                                                                                     oauthToken:oAuthToken
                                                                                                               oauthTokenSecret:oAuthTokenSecret];

                                                                [x verifyCredentialsWithSuccessBlock:^(NSString *username) {

                                                                    [x getDirectMessagesSinceID:nil count:10 successBlock:^(NSArray *messages) {
                                                                        // ...
                                                                    } errorBlock:^(NSError *error) {
                                                                        // ...
                                                                    }];

                                                                } errorBlock:^(NSError *error) {
                                                                    // ...
                                                                }];


                                                            } errorBlock:^(NSError *error) {

                                                            }];
