Hello,

The Twitter API lets me request another users statuses with user_timeline and the authenticated users @replies with mentions. Is there a way to request another users @replies (both to and from them)?

Thanks

You can probably use the Twitter Search API (and just search for things containing "@username") to get the @ replies for that user.

That's a good idea, that would get me the replies at them. But how about the replies they make to other users?

Not sure there's a simple way to grab replies from a specified user to others; the fact that the Twitter site itself doesn't give you a way to view such a list is probably an indication that the API doesn't support it either.

yeah looks like you're right. Now comes the hard part - convincing my client!
