I had an idea to add a feature to Happy Friends that would allow you to expand a tweet to see its replies, if any. I thought this will be easy to do!
So I started to do it, and found I had no glue for a Twitter call that returned the replies to a tweet. What? Oy. Now I have to write the glue. So I did a search, found various posts on Stack Exchange and elsewhere saying there is no such call, going back to 2008. In 2011 or so people stopped asking about it.
I guess it makes sense, I would have thought of this before, tried to do it, and struck out.
Just a note to anyone listening at Twitter, it might be a good idea to fill this in.
Back to our regularly scheduled program. ;-)
Does the workaround (two answers take a similar tack) mentioned in this Quora post help?
Thanks for the tip, but my guess is it's not worth it.
