	setTimeout(function(){
		treq.request('statuses/destroy', {
			// Replace url parameters (statuses/destroy => https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/destroy/:id.json [here, we replace the id parameters])
			params: {
				// Use id_str instead of id ! id may be to long for an integer 
				id: JSON.parse(body).id_str

// Support of streaming api
var req = treq.request('statuses/filter', {

// You can find and rewrite oauth data here (This object is passed to the request oauth function)
console.log(treq.oauth);
treq.oauth.consumer_key = "NEW_CONSUMER_KEY";
