[twitter-dev] Re: Retweet API launched to 100% of users
I am working with Twitter4J which should have support for the latest retweet format in the current Snapshot. Somehow I cannot get the retweetedStatus object, it returns null, so I am wondering if retweets are also part of the streaming API which I am using. I am using the filter stream and would like to detect retweeted messages in this stream. Based on the last information form Twitter this should be possible and the retweetedStatus info should be part of the filter stream statuses. Is this still correct?

This is just one way of doing it. Use whatever interface you think makes sense. What's important is communicating to your users that the tweet they are seeing was shared with them by someone they follow so they don't get confused by seeing tweets in their timeline from people they aren't following. We're just getting started with the retweet feature but we're happy with this initial v1 we pushed out. We're really looking forward to seeing how everyone works with this new API. -- Marcel Molina Twitter Platform Teamhttp://twitter.com/noradio

Hi, It can be Twitter4J side's problem. I'll take a look at it later.

The retweets should also be available in the streaming API. ---Mark On Fri, Nov 27, 2009 at 2:37 AM, Yusuke yus...@mac.com wrote: Hi, It can be Twitter4J side's problem. I'll take a look at it later.

Excellent news Marcel, and also re-tweet support now submitted to Apple in my App too :) On Nov 20, 1:16 am, Marcel Molina mar...@twitter.com wrote: Back in August we announced plans to release the Retweet feature along with an API to publish and consume retweets.
