Hi,

I just noticed the /statuses/replies method was not mentionned anymore
on the Twitter API wiki. It's quite disturbing, as I didn't see
anything in the changelogs. Is this method deprecated? Is it going to
be? Or is it some kind of symlink to /statuses/mentions ?

All the best,
Arnaud.

With the change from @replies -> mentions we the statuses/replies method to statuses/mentions. Rest assured statuses/mentions will still be available, but to reduce confusion and promote the new standard we removed statuses/replies in favor of statuses/mentions in the documentation. In other words statuses/replies is now a hidden alias to statuses/mentions.

Thanks,
Doug

Um.. can we get a do over on that post, please? I think we got the
gist, but just to make sure that nothing was lost in translation
(since I'm spotting a few typos/omissions)...

Thanks,

No excuses. Thanks for calling it Chad.

statuses/replies is an alias to statuses/mentions. statuses/replies will not be going away but we would prefer you to use statuses/mentions if at all possible.


Thanks,
Doug
