Hi I'm new to scraping data from twitter and I've been working on a project to collect tweets and their replies. I scraped the tweets using twitter API , but I couldn't scrape their replies. Any suggestions ?

Scraping is not using API. API is a comfortable method to get data while scraping is doing it manually. If you want to get replies, but the API doesn't provide them, you can use selenium. It is well-known library used for scraping data.

Twitter API does not have an end-point to get replies to a tweet for free users, but there are some ways to achieve what you want, although there may be some limits on how many tweets you can get.

Check-out tweepy library, I think you could use the search method as is explained in this question(How to get the replies for a given tweet with tweepy and python? ). To better understand how to use the tweet object, you should definitely check the docs out.

You can achieve this by: You want to get replies of @barackobama and Tweet Id is 1234 just example. Search tweets having @barackobama is tweet text. then make filter on InrplytweetId=1234 by this method you can get replies of this tweet.
