I can't get the 5 most recent direct messages because they can't be access from their REST api anymore, since 2011.

The Twit npm package that you provide a link to on the project page only has support for opening a stream, and then firing off a callback function when a direct message comes in.

This is not the same as what the project asks for, which is to get the 5 most recent direct messages.

I see the twitter api has a '.../direct_messages' endpoint, but that endpoint doesn't seem to be supported by the Twit npm package.
