      id:
        The numeric ID of the status you are trying to retrieve.
      trim_user:
        When set to True, each tweet returned in a timeline will include
        a user object including only the status authors numerical ID.
        Omit this parameter to receive the complete user object. [Optional]
      include_entities:
        If False, the entities node will be disincluded.
        This node offers a variety of metadata about the tweet in a
        discreet structure, including: user_mentions, urls, and
        hashtags. [Optional]
