I want to check if a certain tweet is a reply to the tweet that I sent. Here is how I think I can do it:
Step1: Post a tweet and store id of posted tweet
Step2: Listen to my handle and collect all the tweets that have my handle in it
Step3: Use tweet.in_reply_to_status_id to see if tweet is reply to the stored id
In this logic, I am not sure how to get the status id of the tweet that I am posting in step 1. Is there a way I can get it? If not, is there another way in which I can solve this problem?
What one could do, is get the last nth tweet from a user, and then get the tweet.id of the relevant tweet. This can be done doing:
latestTweets = api.user_timeline(screen_name = 'user', count = n, include_rts = False)
I, however, doubt that it is the most efficient way.
