Yep, this is HTML end-point, I was also surprised ).

Solution with tons of requests for sake of one conversation is
inadmissible.
I also know about another solution which I've researched in Search
API.
We can call search with specific parameters which will also return us
conversation by one call.
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?result_type=recent&q={screen_name1}%20{screen_name2}&rpp=50

It works however result can be unexpected time to time.
Unfortunately Twitter can't follow replied theme, so conversation may
looks as random tweets of two users for some period of time.
Does anybody knows better solution? I suppose that there should be
performed some filtering and ordering within application.

George

Ah I see. I was appending .json to the status in an attempt to get
that. I didn't expect HTML!

I guess this probably won't stay around for long as it doesn't look
like a method made specifically as an API method.

The current solution is to follow the in_reply_to fields that the API
sends back, stepping through the conversation as you go.. but unless
you have the full streaming API this requires lots of calls to the
REST api, and you'll get rate limited fairly soon. :-(

Hi Stu,

I'm also interested in the mentioned question).
Link that I've shared should work for you, just take a note that it
will work only for replied statuses.
I know the ID of my status (tweet) which was reply to another one, so
if we'll pass this ID to the call:
http://search.twitter.com/search/thread/53014618771165184

Twitter will show you a conversation page, however sometimes it works
strange.
Does anybody know right way how to obtain conversation thread from the
Twitter?

Regards,
George

I'd be really interested to know if this function becomes reliable and
incorporated into the API.  I can't actually get it to work at the
moment though, I get Twitter's 'The page you were looking for doesn't
exist' sent back...
