## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.tweetapi.com`
- URL: `https://api.tweetapi.com/tw-v2/xchat/send`

Send an end-to-end encrypted direct message via X Chat. Prerequisite - You must call /xchat/setup first before sending messages.

## Request body

  - `authToken` string, required: Caller-supplied auth_token cookie value. Treat it as a secret.
  - `proxy` string
  - `recipientId` string, required
  - `message` string, required
  - `conversationToken` string
  - `conversationKeyVersion` string
  - `encryptedConversationKey` string

Successful response

  - `messageId` string, required
  - `conversationId` string, required
  - `timestamp` integer, required
  - `status` 'sent', required
  - `recipientId` string, required
  - `mode` 'e2e', required

## Other responses

- `400`: The request is invalid. Check the parameters and try again.
- `401`: The TweetAPI key or caller-supplied Twitter authentication token is missing or invalid.
- `403`: The authenticated account is not permitted to perform the operation.
- `404`: The requested resource or route was not found.
- `429`: A plan limit rejected the request. The code field says which one. RATE_LIMITED means the per-minute limit was exceeded; wait for Retry-After. QUOTA_EXHAUSTED means the allowance and prepaid balance are used up. SUBSCRIPTION_INACTIVE means the subscription has expired or is inactive. Retrying won't fix the last two. A 429 without a code is temporary; retry with bounded backoff. This response does not include X-RateLimit headers.
- `500`: The request could not be completed.
- `503`: Request allowance is temporarily unavailable. This request was not processed. Follow Retry-After before trying again; contact support if the error persists.
