Twitter4j: Get list of replies for a certain tweet

Question

Is it possible to get a list of tweets that reply to a tweet (or to its replies) using twitter4j? The twitter website and Android app have this feature.

Answer 1

You can use InReplyToStatusId field value using Status.getInReplyToStatusId()

Use the code code below recursively to get all replies or conversations of a tweet using API v1.1:

Status replyStatus = twitter.showStatus(status.getInReplyToStatusId());
System.out.println(replyStatus.getText())

Using this I could pull Tweets with all of their replies.
