twitter - Why one tweet can have many IDs? -
when searching tweets twitter api, got many tweets in response different ids, representing same tweet. example of ids:
898174127525199872 898164436929716224 898163389104406529 898162871690944513 898163196938248193 you can see of tweets url: twitter.com/triangle_global/status/<id> - replacing <id> number. urls redirect same address, page tweet 897793867822411776. moreover, id not returned in search query.
why 1 tweet has many ids? possible construct query returns "original" tweets, without such "duplicate" ids?
all these tweets reference retweets of 897793867822411776. can see looking @ retweeted_status field.
you didn't api endpoint using. if using search/tweets there no way return "original" tweets. can throw out tweets has retweeted_status field present. if tweet not retweet not contain field.
