I am trying hard to find a way to reply to a tweet with Twitter API V2, but it seems there is no endpoint for doing something like that, in Twitter API V2 package i found a way to a tweet, but i am struggling with replies, can you please help me with this? Thanks.

If you're open to abandoning the wrapper package and using Axios instead:

try {
 res = axios({
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
    Accept: "application/json",
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
  },
  data: {
    text: options.body,
  },
  url: "https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets",
})
} catch(error) {
   console.errror(error)
}
