Hello, Questions regarding how to get replies to a tweet
What is the recommended way to do this properly? A few things I have tried {I am aware that there is no current way to use the search API and grab all responses to a tweet (i.e by reply_to_status_id) [bummer].} 1. The search API using a "to:someUser&since_id= [theIdOfTweetIAmWatching]": this does not work since I have no reply_to_status_id in the results to match up with. 2. API --> home_timeline: Requires the credentials for the user who created the tweet [Which I may or may not have] 3. API --> user_timeline with the user_id from the tweet I am watching: this does not include the tweets to the user 4. Cheat and have twitter to the work.... http://search.twitter.com/search/thread/[theIdOfTweetIAmWatching] : does not seem to support JSON or anything other than HTML or ATOM 5. Searched the list :) I am just trying to get a handle on how to take a tweet that I get in via a stream and go look [poll] for replies. It seems I would need to follow the user using the streaming API and match based on the in_reply_to_status_id but that would get quite out of hand due to incoming tweet volume [i.e would need to follow a large amount of users that may or may not ever produce a valid reply]. Thanks in advance, Rob
