Capturing a Full Thread

Hi there! Thanks for all the work you have done. Can you let me know if I am miss understanding current functionally.

# tweet_id = 1771523442707235083 # Top of Thread
tweet_id = 1771523476014207446 # Middle of Thread

t = client.get_tweet_by_id(tweet_id)

thread = [*t.reply_to, t, *t.thread]

[f"Thread {i}: {tweet.text}" for i, tweet in enumerate(thread)]

Is it correct or incorrect to assume the output should be the same if its the top of the thread or the middle?

[d60]

@kylesf yes, they should be the same

[kylesf]

@d60 They are not it appears upwards recursion is not working?

@d60 If no ideas come to mind, happy to debug the library code and try to find where the issue may be coming from. Just wanted to double check before diving into the code base!

Hi, first of all thank you for your work !

I'm also trying to get a thread starting from a tweet but the keys: "thread" & "reply_to" are None. The only info I have is "in_reply_to", I manage to obtain the previous tweet id.

I know I can use get_tweet_by_id until I obtain the full thread but it would hit the rate limits and wouldn't scale.

I'm trying to build a bot such as MakeItAQuote, that would trigger an action based on the tweets above when mentioned but I can't find a solution using your library. Do you have any idea ?

Thanks again!

That's exactly what I'm looking for as well!
