How to get id of the tweet

Question

I have set of tweet and their user name and want to get the their ID. Due to limitations of search API of twitter I cannot use it. Also the topsy.com doesnt shows all the results.

Do you want to fetch the user or tweet id? – philipproplesch Jan 12 '13 at 23:38 — philipproplesch, Jan 12 '13 at 23:38

You can use the lookup method of the REST API https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/friendships/lookup for get all the info of the tweet. Moreover if u got the screenName of the twitter users, u got the ID, because u can use both for identify the twitter users
