How to reply to particular tweet using Twitter API?

How do I use the Twitter Search API to show my tweets, but not those starting with @replies?

  • I'm using this JS (http://tweet.seaofclouds.com/) to show my tweets on my website, but I want to remove the tweets with twitter @replies at the beginning.

  • Answer:

    The Twitter search API doesn't allow wildcards, so you'll have to manually filter out any tweets starting with @.

This seemed to work for me : "dnene -@dnene" ie. prefix the @ with a hyphen Note that this deletes the replies sent to me - not the replies I sent out.
