Support for providing reply_count

[jasco]

I notice that reply_count is not reported. Is there interest in adding this? Is this a limitation from the api endpoint used? (I last saw it while using the v2 endpoint directly and have not looked closely at v1.)

[edsu]

Yes, I think reply_count is new in v2. twarc doesn't support the v2 api yet but we are thinking about the best way to add it.

Dear edsu, will the twarc support v2 any soon?

[edsu]

@SamHames & I have chatted about it, but not come up with a plan yet. The JSON output is very different, but we could look at adding some experimental support if you want to test. What API endpoint are you interested in?

[tugrulz]

Sorry for late response. Getting the new annotations might be useful.

[edsu]

Work on v2 is beginning in earnest. Tune into to v2 branch to keep up with developments. Hopefully we'll have something for you to test soon.

In v2 Reply counts are now included in expansions, so the tweet objects should have a public_metrics object with the counts https://github.com/DocNow/twarc/blob/main/twarc/expansions.py#L49
