[twitter-dev] Re: A way to see replies to specific tweets
Actually, this data can be obtained pretty easily using Gnip. They have the reply_to_status_id as part of their notification schema. I'm pulling all of this data to maintain the client stats at tweetstats.com/twitter_stats (shameless plug) - as an example, though, I can see that the most replied_to status of the day was http://twitter.com/DonnieWahlberg/status/1455076423 I'm not entirely sure how correct the Gnip data is as I've seen some inconsistencies. But it may simply be that I haven't built in all the necessary redundancy at this point. It should be noted that I believe you can also create a filter on a specific reply_to_status_id (the URL of it) and get HTTP POSTs for any future(?) reference to it. I haven't used that feature myself, hence the question mark. If you'd like some more info on pulling this data on Gnip, feel free to shoot me an email. Their team is all over on Twitter as well and very helpful. Their docs (http://docs.google.com/Doc? id=dpw6zj9_0fdcnttgd), however, are a little confusing. :-\ And if any devs want to collaborate on making this data more easily accessible for the time being, also let me know. :) As mentioned, I already pull the Gnip data, but would need to a) make the retrieval system a bit more robust, b) index it better for this purpose and c) put a pretty front-end on it. dpc On Apr 3, 1:48 pm, Chad Etzel jazzyc...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 4:39 PM, Doug Williams d...@twitter.com wrote: It sounds like a number of developers are working on rolling their own solution though.

If it helps motivate any as soon as this method is added I will be launching a revolutionary app. :) Abraham On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 15:09, Martin Dufort martin.duf...@gmail.com wrote: Doug: This has been opened by Craig a number of months ago.

[twitter-dev] Re: A way to see replies to specific tweets
Martin, The issue is tracked for the V2 milestone which means it's not a priority at the moment. It sounds like a number of developers are working on rolling their own solution though. Hopefully they can be convinced to make those results available via an API to keep everything moving forward.
