Status link without user name

[Joshua Perry]

Say I have status_id 3244325. What is the URL to view that status on the
web that doesn't include the username?

I'm guessing you mean an HTML version... I'm not sure that exists.

Otherwise, you can use http://twitter.com/statuses/show/3244325.xml

or

http://twitter.com/statuses/show/3244325.json

Nick,
If you only have a status id and you would like to construct a URL, you are going to have to use a call to statuses/show [1] to get the screen name for the user then construct the URL accordingly:

http://twitter.com/<screen_name>/status/<status_id>

[1] - http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST+API+Documentation#show

I think the original poster, whose question I was (flailing around) trying to answer, was probably hoping for an HTML page.

Oh, I see what you're saying... use the API call to construct the link with the user name.  Probably not the answer he wants, but we'll see.  There is no link that returns HTML that doesn't have the screen name in it, I'm assuming.

Thanks for the input guys, we do have the screen name also, I just
assumed since the status_id was unique that there was an HTML URL that
would go directly to it.
