Search only reply tweets from Full-archive

[madadev_es]

I need to make a query to the api Search Tweets API: Full-archive endpoint that only returns tweets that match one or more hashtags and that they are reply tweets.
We are interested only in reply tweets.
We have thought about making the query but discarding the retweets (with the operator is: retweet). And so reduce the number of downloaded tweets.

Some suggestion!

Thank you

Hi @madadev_es - You can search for Tweets with Hashtags and negate Retweets (with the operator -is:retweet). In order to only capture the Tweets that are replies, you’d need to parse the search results that you’re returned and look for Tweets that have a non null “in_reply_to…” object (there are several objects in the Tweet payload that you could choose to look at: in_reply_to_status_id, in_reply_to_status_id_str, in_reply_to_user_id, in_reply_to_user_id_str, and in_reply_to_screen_name).

You can read more about Tweets objects here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/data-dictionary/overview/tweet-object
