I tried several times but it seems sometimes API doesn’t return data/returns error for tweets. An example -

curl "/2/tweets/search/recent?query=conversation_id%3A1555965008076496896" -H "Authorization: Bearer $BEARER_TOKEN"

This doesn’t return any data of the search though as you can see there’s replies in this tweet - boudoinkeith/status/1555965008076496896

Because 1555965008076496896 is already a reply to 1555954463420125189, you can’t use it as a conversation_id. The conversation_id for 1555965008076496896 is 1555954463420125189.

So you would have to search for conversation_id:1555954463420125189 and then reconstruct the thread from the results yourself to figure out what “replies to replies” you need in case that’s what you’re looking for.

Btw, is it possible to get the conversation id from a reply id? Like how I faced, user only inputs the reply link, I want to be able to get the conversation/tweet this reply belongs to.

yeah, each tweet will have a conversation_id field too, you can include it with tweet.fields - and also referenced_tweets.id expansion helps to have too Using fields and expansions | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform

Yeah that’s exactly what i tried doing. But the result is empty though. I tried doing it with the reply id. Try - Twitter API Playground

Oh, that one still uses the reply ID, when it should be the one from conversation_id like this: Twitter API Playground

#8

Yeah that’s exactly what I meant. How do I get the conversation id if I only have the reply id? Is there a way to get conversation id from reply id? Users might submit reply id and I will need to get the conversation id which I can’t get from user.

#9

I tried to check if the conversation_id is there in v1 tweets API but it seems it isn’t. There’s in_reply_to_status_id_str but it doesn’t work as conversation_id. What I need to have is -

  1. User inputs a reply link.
  2. Backend finds the conversation_id of that reply so that I can filter all replies of the reply.

Is it possible?

You would look up the tweet with tweet.fields, specifying referenced_tweets.id expansion - however, this seems to disappear if the original conversation is deleted.
