Here's a fun fact. You don't need to pay for the Twitter API if you know the post you want to retrieve.

The Twitter embedding service provides a fully inflated JSON response. It includes parents to replies, quote posts, links to media, total number of likes, retweets, replies, etc.

Here's an example of someone replying to me:

cdn.syndication.twimg.com/twee

You need to add a token to the end, but it can be any random string. No other restrictions.

Very useful for archiving.
