How to "Retweet with comment" via Twitter API

Question

My problem: how can I rephrase with a comment without showing the original tweet url via the API?

Website engagement makes RT look like this .

Answer 1

I understand that you are reaching the closest solution offered by the Twitter API. This thread says the following:

• perform a status update with the “status” field containing the text of the original tweet, and then a link to the original tweet. Field 'in_reply_to_status_id' should not be set. This action does not increase the number of retries.
• make a retweet , which will increase the number of retweets .
