I am testing the endpoint “user_timeline” to get a reply of a Tweet, something strange happened because sometimes I could get the tweet I was looking for, but sometimes with the same request, I did not get it. After validation, the only thing different was that I change my location using a VPN, so
I tested a couple of location and I found that this tweet a was looking for is just retrieved from a certain location ( other tweets from time-line were retrieved correctly)

API endpoint: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json

I can get my tweet’s reply from these locations:

HONG KONG - Victoria
USA West
USA - Los Angeles
USA - Seattle
West Canada
Vancouver

The location that did no retrieved the tweet:
USA East did not work
Chicago - Cub
USA Midd
Dallas

What’s the Tweet ID of this tweet? Maybe it has withheld content? Understanding when content is withheld based on country

The Tweet id is this 1111415761359106049,
I’m not sure about witheld content, because when I use the endpoint “statuses/user_timeline.json” from Chicago for example I did not get the tweet, but if I use another endpoint “statuses/show.json” I can get it even from the same location.

Yeah that’s very strange, i can see the tweet with statuses/show but it’s missing in user_timeline maybe some weird consistency issues!
