This is a really simple API requested by Patrick McKenzie (@patio11)
on Twitter. Link to request here.
The API takes two parameters, id
and name
and outputs a Markdown
document tracing back an entire Tweetstorm (or reply thread) to its
initial parent.
id
can be a Twitter tweet ID or just a link to the tweet itself.
Note that URLs and @ mentions will be linked to the appropriate document /
user, lines are truncated at a max of 80 characters long (given a space exists appropriately),
and non-parent user replies are indicated (if a tweetstorm or reply thread contains a
tweet from somebody else).
Enjoy!
