Twitter API call retweeets_of_me

Question

Can I get the info from the twitter API call "statuses/retweets_of_me" that who retweeted me? Above call only returns the 20 most recent tweets by me which have been retweeted by "???"..

How to get this information? Obviously I'd like to know about the least RATE API Limit consuming way :)

Thanks, Alam Sher

Answer 1

You can use the count optional parameter to return up to 200 retweets of you..

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/retweets_of_me.xml?count=200

These will be tweets of yours that have been retweeted by others.

Or am I misunderstanding what you are needing? If so, can you explain a little more as to what data you are expecting to receive?

Answer 2

http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-statuses-retweets

above api call will tell the retweeted details for the given status.

So in order to get full information to get "retweets of me".

first call statuses/retweetes_of_me to get the the status ids of me which were retweeted and then use the above method call (check the URL) to get the retweeted_details for the given tweet id.

Strange, as it clashes with the Rate Limit API calls.
