Getting the reply count with statusesUserTimeline

[aviNrich]

Hi,
Is it possible somehow today to get the reply count when using the method: await this.twitterClient.tweets.statusesUserTimeline();

I know in the Twitter UI it apears in .reply_count.
Or maybe another request to get this item.

Thanks

Hi, @aviNrich

At this moment, it's not directly possible.
But there are a few workarounds.

Check out this discussion on StackOverflow.

@SimonHoiberg thank you.
Correct me if I'm wrong metrics API is not supported in this lib correct?
if not, can I execute "free" authenticated requests to Twitter API? something like:
twitterApiClient.http.get('/metrics/blabla') this way I wont have to authenticate twice.

Thanks

Not at the moment, no.
But that's actually a nice suggestion for a feature 👍
We'll look into supporting that!
