Using Twython , how do I get a single tweet using just the tweet

  • 0

Using Twython, how do I get a single tweet using just the tweet ID_STR?

I know I can call it like this (TwitterDocuentation)

"https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show.json?id=112652479837110273"

but I keep running into return code 400 errors when attempting to call it in twython with the request() method. I was trying to do something similar to calling the showStatus endpoint

 tweet = twitter.request(endpoint='showStatus')

but that doesn’t seem to let me plugin the ID_STR param (or I’m just plainly doing it wrong)

 tweet = twitter.request(endpoint='showStatus',
              params={id:'112652479837110273'})

How can I do this with just the tweet ID and Twython?

    This is how to do it:

    status = twitter.showStatus(id="112652479837110273")
print status['text']

    with the result:
