Twitter Hide Reply

What it is

This block hides a reply to a tweet.

How it works

<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->

This block uses the Twitter API v2 via Tweepy to hide a reply to one of your tweets. Hidden replies are not deleted—they're moved behind a "View hidden replies" option that viewers can click to see. Only the original tweet author can hide replies.

The block authenticates using OAuth 2.0 and sends a PUT request to change the reply's hidden status. This is useful for managing conversation threads and reducing visibility of off-topic or inappropriate replies.

Twitter Unhide Reply

What it is

This block unhides a reply to a tweet.

How it works

<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->

This block uses the Twitter API v2 via Tweepy to restore visibility of a previously hidden reply. The reply will appear normally in the conversation thread again.

The block authenticates using OAuth 2.0 and sends a PUT request to change the reply's hidden status back to visible. Only the original tweet author can unhide replies they previously hid.

<!-- END MANUAL -->

Inputs

Input	Description	Type	Required
tweet_id	ID of the tweet reply to unhide	str	Yes

Outputs

Output	Description	Type
error	Error message if the operation failed	str
success	Whether the operation was successful	bool

Possible use case

<!-- MANUAL: use_case -->

Moderation Review: Restore replies after reviewing them and determining they were hidden incorrectly.

Context Restoration: Unhide replies that provide important context that was initially overlooked.

User Appeals: Restore hidden replies after a user explains their intent or edits problematic content.
