        $postID = (string)$input['postId'];

        $status = $input['message'];

        $postStatus = ['format' => 'json', 'status' => $status];

        $result = Twitter::postRt($postID, $postStatus);

        $result = json_decode($result, true);

        return response()->json($result);

}

        $tokens = Session::get('access_token');
        Twitter::reconfig($tokens);

        $input = $request->all();
        $postID = (string)$input['id'];
        $status = '@'.$input['screen_name'].' '.$input['message'];

        $parameters = [
            'status' => $status,
            'in_reply_to_status_id' => $postID,
            'format' => 'json'
        ];

        $result = Twitter::postTweet($parameters);
        $result = json_decode($result, true);

        return response()->json(['success' => $result]);
}

To direct message to user use the below function :

        $test = Twitter::postDm([
            'user_id' => (string)$request->id,
            'screen_name' => $request->screen_name,
            'text' => $request->message
        ]);
        return response()->json($test);
