retweets-with-comments of my own tweets, using tweepy.mentions_timeline() ?

See original GitHub issue

Stuck with trying to get the “retweets with comments” of my own tweets.

Is there an equivalent to the https://twitter.com/notifications page … but in the API?

I have tried with the tweepy.api.mentions_timeline() because your 3.8.0 manual says

Returns the 20 most recent mentions, including retweets.

It actually gives me SOME positives, it’s a good start, for sure. But it’s not complete.

–> Some retweets-with-comments of my tweets are missing from ^ that.

While https://twitter.com/notifications is showing them just fine.

I made a foobar() simplification of my problem.

code is below.
Output is further below, but I will delete that when this is answered.

Any hint much appreciated.

Wow, tweepy is amazing, I really love it. Well done, and keep up the good work!
Thanks.

(tweepy) PR for Account activity

Oh cool. Thanks a lot.

no REST API equivalent call for Account Activity Webhooks

Ah thanks, good to know. Is there a technical reason to not provide that?

It’s a Twitter choice to use push notifications, it means they are in control of their flow control. Within your own service it’s straightforward to accept the events on the web socket and then distribute them as a feed or a queue. I push events to an AWS SQS queue and pick them up and parse them and reprocess them at my system’s leisure.
