How can I filter replies and get only the original tweets?

[valalithak]

I'm currently using the dev version but did not find any attribute which lets me identify if a tweet is original or a reply to some other tweet @JustAnotherArchivist any help would be appreciated.

Getting only original tweets on a search scrape: add -filter:replies to your query, e.g. from:nasa -filter:replies
Determining whether a snscrape.modules.twitter.Tweet is original or a reply: tweet.inReplyToTweetId being None means it's an original tweet.

Note that -filter:replies (and its equivalent exclude:replies) will also filter out self-replies, e.g. second and later tweets in a thread.

Also, this is a duplicate of #45.
