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:
https://cdn.syndication.twimg.com/tweet-result?id=1095659600420966400&lang=en&token=abcdefg
You need to add a token to the end, but it can be any random string. No other restrictions.
Very useful for archiving.
