I'm properly calling api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline with
include_rts as true and retweets are not being included. The only
stream that I can get to return retweets (because it doesn't even
require the include_rts parameter) is the home_timeline.
For example, the following doesn't work:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/RWW.xml?count=20page=1include_rts=true
The worst part about this is not just that the include_rts parameter
doesn't work for including retweets, the returned timeline doesn't
even have 20 records in it when there are retweets. In other words,
the API is not only ignoring the include_rts parameter but its not
even returning the right number of requested records when it thinks
include_rts is false.
This totally screws up my pagination methods because I'm getting less
than the expected number of records back, so my app thinks there's no
more timeline to be retrieved. I certainly don't want to just always
include a next page link when there really aren't any more records
left.
Also, the count parameter is being ignored in all of this as well, but
I've latched on to another thread about that.

Hi Timmerk,
Make sure you're using api.twitter.com as the host for all of your API
requests. The proper API is not at twitter.com -- it's at api.twitter.com.
Include_rts will not work against twitter.com (and one day you'll find all
of your requests rejected.)
Also, please note that proper API routes include a version component. The
call you're making should
be:http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=NuWa...

I'm having the same issue - you can see an example here:
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=NuWaveGOV;...
As you can see, there are no retweets included in the JSON.
Thanks!

Hey Hen,
Are you still finding retweets are not showing up for you?

Matt,
Any user I show in my app would not show retweets, even if they surely
exist. You can see for yourself athttp://wosaic.net/twitguin(still
early stages, don't mind it being a bit lame), see any user such as
myself athttp://wosaic.net/twitguin/user/henasraf;you may go
through pages and see that no retweets ever show; they should be color
coded in orange. You can compare tohttp://twitter.com/henasraftosee
retweets that should show.
Thanks,
Hen

Hey,
Retweets should be included if they exist in the users timeline when
you
request them. For example if you request 20 Tweets of the timeline
and
one
of those last 20 was a retweet - it will be included. If one of the
last 20
Tweets wasn't a retweet it won't be included, even if include_rts is
true.
Does this explain what is happening in your app?
If not could you give an example of a username which shows this
problem.
Best,
Matt

Hey all, I'm using user_timeline to fetch the timeline of a user in
my
app. Problem is, it doesn't include native Retweets, even though
I've
set include_rts to true. The docs clearly say it should work, but
it
doesn't. What could be the problem? Thanks in advance :)
