Twitter URL for a specific tweet

Question

I have Javascript that uses the Twitter API to receive tweets. I parse the data and use jQuery to generate HTML for the DOM.

The aspect of what I want to display is the “View this tweet” link - yes, sorta sounds silly, but it allows the user to get the URL for a particular tweet.

I am creating a tag with href. The URL has the form:

http://twitter.com/{twitter-user-id}/status/{tweet-status-id} 

where the contents of the curly braces are the actual data extracted from the tweet (no, I do not include the curly braces). For example:

 http://twitter.com/Atechtrader/status/57432099984130050 

What happens in the work is that it works for some tweets, but not for others. For those who fail, the Twitter server responds with content that says the requested page does not exist.

Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

https://twitter.com/statuses/ID should work.
he will be redirected to the necessary status.

Answer 2

FYI: id_str is a variable to be called instead of id

Answer 3

Unfortunately, all the answers provided so far are based on HTTP redirects.

The direct link is: https://twitter.com/i/web/status/ {tweet-status-id}

Answer 4

You can use as:

http://twitter.com/itdoesnotmatter/status/[YOURID]

Twitter redirects based on status identifier, not username.

It works for desktops and mobile devices.

Answer 5

I have tried this. It works well: - Web: https://twitter.com/statuses/ID - Mobile && Web: https://twitter.com/User_ID/statuses/Tweet_ID

I hope this will be helpful to you.
