Hi Twitter Team,

I am currently building an application to display several twitter accounts and corresponding tweets with their metrics. As a next steps I want to show all replies from each tweet.

I know currently the only way to get replies to a tweet is via the search endpoint and the query q=to:username and afterwards filter out the tweets with the correct in_reply_to_status_id_str. The problem arising from that approach is: that it does not catch all replies especially those deeply nested in a conversation (reply of a reply of a reply).

I know that twitter has an internal endpoint for a “conversation” overview looking something like https://api.twitter.com/2/timeline/conversation/{tweet.id}.json

My question is, can you please release a version of the endpoint to be used by external developers in the future? Reverse searching tweets with correct @ mention feels more like a hack than a permanent solution.

Cheers,
Johann
