get-statuses-lookup

GET statuses/lookup

Returns fully-hydrated Tweet objects for up to 100 Tweets per request, as specified by comma-separated values passed to the id parameter.

This method is especially useful to get the details (hydrate) a collection of Tweet IDs.

GET statuses / show / :id is used to retrieve a single Tweet object.

There are a few things to note when using this method.

You must be following a protected user to be able to see their most recent Tweets. If you don't follow a protected user their status will be removed.
The order of Tweet IDs may not match the order of Tweets in the returned array.
If a requested Tweet is unknown or deleted, then that Tweet will not be returned in the results list, unless the map parameter is set to true, in which case it will be returned with a value of null.
If none of your lookup criteria matches valid Tweet IDs an empty array will be returned for map=false.
You are strongly encouraged to use a POST for larger requests.
