I am working on a project where the conversation of a twitter user needs to be retrieved. For example i want to get all the replies of this tweet of BBC World Service. Using
There is no API call to get replies to a specific tweet. You can, however, cheat!
Using the Search API you can construct a search query which is:
@bbcworldservice.So, in this case, something like
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?
q=%23bbcworldservice&
since_id=489366839953489920&
count=100
You'll get a list of Tweets (up to 100). You will then need to search them for in_reply_to_status_id_str and see if it matches the status you're looking for.
