8These functions can be used to retrieve specific tweets from the server

10\usage{
11showStatus(id, ...)
12lookup_statuses(ids, ...)
13}
14\arguments{
15  \item{id}{ID of a specific tweet, should be a String, but numbers are accepted}
16  \item{ids}{A vector of IDs to lookup, should be Strings but numbers are accepted}
17  \item{\dots}{Optional arguments to be passed to \code{\link{GET}} (or \code{\link{POST}}, see Details)}
18}
19\value{
20  For showStatus, an object of class \code{\link{status}}
21
22  For lookup_statuses, a list of \code{\link{status}} objects. Note that these will not be in the
23  same order as the \code{ids} argument and that any id which could not be retrieved will not be present.
24}
25\details{
26  Ideally a POST request would be used for lookup_statuses, however currently there is a problem
27  (issue 78 on github) and GET is used.
