I am trying to go through tweets of a particular user and get all replies on that tweet. I found that the APIv1.1 of twitter does not directly support it.
Is there a hack or a workaround on getting the replies for a particular tweet. I am using python Streaming API.
There is a workaround using the REST API.
You will need the id_str and @username of the author of the original tweet you want to find replies to.
You should use the Search API for the "@username" of the author. Go through the results looking for the 'in_reply_to_status_id' field to compare to the id_str of the specific tweet you want replies for.
