Video Direct Message Cards

Note: card_uri is replacing preview_url. This moves associating a card with a Tweet from the Tweet text to a Tweet parameter. To associate a card with a Tweet, use the card_uri parameter with either the POST accounts/:account_id/tweet, POST statuses/update, or POST accounts/:account_id/scheduled_tweets endpoints. This allows users to use more characters in their Tweets.

Retrieve details for some or all video direct message cards associated with the current account.
