Is there an established (or perhaps undocumented) way to retrieve an entire conversation from a single tweet?
The ugly way a coworker and I ended up using was to just see if the single tweet was in response to an ID, request that ID, see if that was in response to an ID, and so on until it either ended or we cut it off prematurely after a certain conversation length. This method also doesn't allow you to see any future messages within that conversation.
- abraham 16y agoFor traveling up the chain your method is the best. For getting replies to a tweet there is an undocumented API [1] that was implemented with #newtwitter that returns some responses. You could also use the third-party API that Twitoaster provides. Twitoaster will generally only work if the user who created tweet that started the conversation is a Twitoaster user.
