Replies to a particular tweet, Twitter API

Question

Is there a way in the Twitter API to get the replies to a particular tweet? Thanks

Answer 1

Here I am sharing simple R code to fetch reply of specific tweet

userName = "SrBachchan"

##fetch tweets from @userName timeline
tweets = userTimeline(userName,n = 1)

## converting tweets list to DataFrame  
tweets <- twListToDF(tweets)  

## building queryString to fetch retweets 
queryString = paste0("to:",userName)

## retrieving tweet ID for which reply is to be fetched 
Id = tweets[1,"id"]  

## fetching all the reply to userName
rply = searchTwitter(queryString, sinceID = Id) 
rply = twListToDF(rply)

## eliminate all the reply other then reply to required tweet Id  
rply = rply[!rply$replyToSID > Id,]
rply = rply[!rply$replyToSID < Id,]
rply = rply[complete.cases(rply[,"replyToSID"]),]

## now rply DataFrame contains all the required replies.
