[twitter-dev] Retweet chain

2011-03-17 Thread Karthik Murugan
Let us assume:

C follows B. B follows A

A sends a tweet and B retweets it.

C gets the retweet on his timeline and retweets it again.


I'm connected to UserStream of A and I receive both the retweets. But not 
sure how to find the retweet chain

How can we know that C retweeted it via B? Is it exposed in any API methods?

No, it's not. You can, however, analyze who gets the retweet in the 
timeline and build the chain that way. Of course, this won't work if you 
have a huge amount of retweets. Also, it's not 100% accurate.
