# Quickstart

> Esta guía te lleva paso a paso a enviar Mensajes Directos y crear conversaciones grupales. Referencia para el nivel estándar de la X API v2 que cubre manage.

export const Button = ({href, children}) => {
  return <div className="not-prose">
    <a href={href}>
      <button className="x-btn">
        <span>{children}</span>
        <svg width="3" height="24" viewBox="0 -9 3 24" class="h-6 rotate-0 overflow-visible"><path d="M0 0L3 3L0 6" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round"></path></svg>
      </button>
    </a>
  </div>;
};

Esta guía te lleva paso a paso a enviar Mensajes Directos y crear conversaciones grupales.

<Note>
  **Requisitos previos**

  Antes de comenzar, necesitarás:

  * Una [cuenta de desarrollador](https://developer.x.com/en/portal/petition/essential/basic-info) con una App aprobada

## Enviar un mensaje uno a uno

<Steps>
  <Step title="Obtén el ID de usuario del destinatario">
    Necesitas el ID de usuario de la persona a la que quieres enviar el mensaje. Puedes obtenerlo desde el [endpoint de búsqueda de usuario](/x-api/users/lookup/introduction).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Envía el mensaje">
    <CodeGroup dropdown>
      ```bash cURL theme={null}
      curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/dm_conversations/with/9876543210/messages" \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -d '{"text": "Hello! This is a message from the API."}'
      ```

      ```python title="SDK de Python" lines wrap icon="python" theme={null}
      from xdk import Client

      client = Client(bearer_token="YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN")

      # Send a one-to-one message
      response = client.dm.send_message(
          participant_id="9876543210",
          text="Hello! This is a message from the API."
      )

      print(f"Message sent: {response.data.dm_event_id}")
      print(f"Conversation: {response.data.dm_conversation_id}")
      ```

      ```javascript title="SDK de JavaScript" lines wrap icon="square-js" theme={null}
      import { Client } from "@xdevplatform/xdk";

      const client = new Client({ accessToken: "YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" });

      // Send a one-to-one message
      const response = await client.dm.sendMessage({
        participantId: "9876543210",
        text: "Hello! This is a message from the API.",
      });

      console.log(`Message sent: ${response.data?.dm_event_id}`);
      console.log(`Conversation: ${response.data?.dm_conversation_id}`);
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Revisa la respuesta">
    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "data": {
        "dm_conversation_id": "1234567890-9876543210",
        "dm_event_id": "1582103724607971332"
      }
    }
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Crear una conversación grupal

<Steps>
  <Step title="Define los participantes">
    Reúne los IDs de usuario de todos los que quieras en el grupo (excluyéndote a ti).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Crea el grupo con el primer mensaje">
    <CodeGroup dropdown>
      ```bash cURL theme={null}
      curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/dm_conversations" \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -d '{
          "conversation_type": "Group",
          "participant_ids": ["944480690", "906948460078698496"],
          "message": {"text": "Welcome to our new group!"}
        }'
      ```

      ```python title="SDK de Python" lines wrap icon="python" theme={null}
      from xdk import Client

      client = Client(bearer_token="YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN")

      # Create a group conversation
      response = client.dm.create_conversation(
          conversation_type="Group",
          participant_ids=["944480690", "906948460078698496"],
          message={"text": "Welcome to our new group!"}
      )

      print(f"Group created: {response.data.dm_conversation_id}")
      ```

      ```javascript title="SDK de JavaScript" lines wrap icon="square-js" theme={null}
      import { Client } from "@xdevplatform/xdk";

      const client = new Client({ accessToken: "YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" });

      // Create a group conversation
      const response = await client.dm.createConversation({
        conversationType: "Group",
        participantIds: ["944480690", "906948460078698496"],
        message: { text: "Welcome to our new group!" },
      });

      console.log(`Group created: ${response.data?.dm_conversation_id}`);
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Recibe el ID de conversación">
    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "data": {
        "dm_conversation_id": "1582103724607971328",
        "dm_event_id": "1582103724607971332"
      }
    }
    ```

    Guarda el `dm_conversation_id` para añadir más mensajes más tarde.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Añadir un mensaje a una conversación existente

Envía un mensaje a una conversación de la que ya formas parte:

<CodeGroup dropdown>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/dm_conversations/1582103724607971328/messages" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"text": "Adding another message to the conversation."}'
  ```

  ```python SDK de Python theme={null}
  from xdk import Client

  client = Client(bearer_token="YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN")

  # Add message to existing conversation
  response = client.dm.send_message_to_conversation(
      dm_conversation_id="1582103724607971328",
      text="Adding another message to the conversation."
  )

  print(f"Message sent: {response.data.dm_event_id}")
  ```

  ```javascript SDK de JavaScript theme={null}
  import { Client } from "@xdevplatform/xdk";

  const client = new Client({ accessToken: "YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" });

  // Add message to existing conversation
  const response = await client.dm.sendMessageToConversation(
    "1582103724607971328",
    { text: "Adding another message to the conversation." }
  );

  console.log(`Message sent: ${response.data?.dm_event_id}`);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Enviar un mensaje con medios

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sube el medio">
    Primero, sube tu medio usando el [endpoint de Media Upload](/x-api/media/quickstart/media-upload-chunked).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Envía con adjunto de media">
    <CodeGroup dropdown>
      ```bash cURL theme={null}

          participant_id="9876543210",
          text="Check out this image!",
          attachments=[{"media_id": "1234567890123456789"}]
      )

      print(f"Message with media sent: {response.data.dm_event_id}")
      ```

      ```javascript title="SDK de JavaScript" lines wrap icon="square-js" theme={null}
      import { Client } from "@xdevplatform/xdk";

      const client = new Client({ accessToken: "YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" });

      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>
</Steps>

***

## Eliminar un mensaje

Elimina un mensaje que enviaste:

<CodeGroup dropdown>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X DELETE "https://api.x.com/2/dm_events/1582103724607971332" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  ```

  ```python SDK de Python theme={null}
  from xdk import Client

  client = Client(bearer_token="YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN")

  # Delete a message
  response = client.dm.delete_message("1582103724607971332")
  print(f"Deleted: {response.data.deleted}")
  ```

  ```javascript SDK de JavaScript theme={null}
  import { Client } from "@xdevplatform/xdk";

  const client = new Client({ accessToken: "YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" });

  // Delete a message
  const response = await client.dm.deleteMessage("1582103724607971332");
  console.log(`Deleted: ${response.data?.deleted}`);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Respuesta:**

```json theme={null}
{
  "data": {
    "deleted": true
  }
}
```

<Warning>
  Solo puedes eliminar mensajes que hayas enviado tú, no mensajes de otros participantes.
</Warning>

## Scopes requeridos

Al usar OAuth 2.0 PKCE, tu access token debe tener estos scopes:

| Scope        | Descripción                                  |
| :----------- | :------------------------------------------- |
| `dm.write`   | Enviar y eliminar mensajes                   |
| `dm.read`    | Leer conversaciones (requerido con dm.write) |
| `tweet.read` | Requerido para algunas expansions            |
| `users.read` | Requerido para expansions de usuario         |
