In order to get the text of the status, we have to do the following :

1. Identify the status ID of the status from the GUI.
2. Get the Status object of the status using the get_status() method with the status ID. If we want to get the complete text, pass another parameter tweet_mode = "extended".
3. From this object, fetch the text attribute present in it. If we want to get the complete text, fetch the attribute full_text.

Example 1 : Consider the following status : 👁 Image
We will use the status ID to fetch the status. The status ID of the above mentioned status is 1272771459249844224. Output :

The text of the status is :
