Is it true that if you daven for something on Purim, Hashem does not say no to what you’ve asked for?
No.
Possible. It’s also possible that Hashem says YES to your Tefillos but saves it for a future Dor (your child, Einikel…).
“Kol haposhet yad nosnim lo”. When a person sticks out their hand for money, we don’t look, we just give without asking questions. When a person “sticks out their hand” and asks for something, Hashem doesn’t look, just gives (if its best for the person).
Yep

Meyheycho teyso?
There is Torah that says that Hashem keeps the halacha of kol haposhet yad nosnim lo, but this obviously shouldn’t be taken too far. However, Purim is definitely an eis ratzon and a good time to daven. (Not that there’s ever a bad time to daven.)
I think Hashem answers you, but maybe Hashem doesn’t answer if what your asking for is not good for you, or maybe He answers you in a hidden way and may not even realize it’s being answered.
I actually had kavana during shma koleinu by the part where your supposed to add about parnassah and I was thinking that “Kol ShePoshet Yado Nosnin Lo” and after I was done with shmoneh esrei someone came up to me and gave me $100 in an envelope (hows that for fast service)
Obviously it’s not true 100% of the time. If it were, then people will terminal illnesses would pray for recovery on Purim and miraculously recover.
I know a gentlemen who’s father fell down a flight of stairs on Purim a number of years ago. While I can’t state for a fact that he davened for his father’s recovery on Purim, I would be extremely shocked if he told me that he didn’t. Sadly, his father did not recover and passed away a few days later.
Of course, that’s not to say that prayers aren’t answered on Purim. But to answer the OP’s question plainly, the answer is clearly no.

You might not see instant results, but if nothing else, at least you had a meaningful conversation with Hashem.
Still, no harm in asking. You just might be plesantly surprised!
