It would be really great if MeetEdgar supported Twitter threads. Twitter threads are a great way for me to take my long-form blog content and modify it to fit the context of a Twitter thread. This allows me to deliver more in-depth content but modified to suit the context.

SarahB AdminHi Keenan, thanks so much for your feedback! At this time, scheduling Twitter threads is not possible through Twitter's API. However, we will definitely consider adding that if it becomes an option in the future. :)

Keenan PayneThank you for the update! That makes sense, I was actually wondering the other day if Twitter threads were possible through Twitter's API. I find it curious how a tool like Hypefury is able to make Twitter threads work.
I'm wondering if they use one of the parameters on the `POST statuses/update` endpoint to link tweets together (ref: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/post-and-engage/api-reference/post-statuses-update) like `in_reply_to_status_id` which would make a pseudo-thread? -

SarahB AdminHi Keenan,
It's very possible that Hypefury is using some sort of reply_to logic to create the appearance of a thread. Threads aren't officially part of Twitter's API right now, but there could be ways to get around that. Our first priority is to make sure we're always operating within Twitter's guidelines to keep our user's Twitter accounts safe, but our developers will take a closer look in the future to see whether this type of thread action may be possible. :)
