I have an application that executes the statuses/retweets_of_me.format api method. The call works just fine and my app receives the retweets. But the user section of the statuses returned contains the original tweeter not of the user that posted the retweet. I can use the status id in another call to the api to get the user object. but if there are multiple retweets that increases the number of calls to the API almost exponentially. I have tried sending a comma delimited list of status ids to the api call, statuses/id/retweeted_by_id.format, and that does return a list of users. However there may or not be the retweet status id in the user object to know what user goes with what retweet status id. I know that the twitter user interface does provide the retweeter id in the retweets of me display. But the api does not appear to have that call available. The status/mentions.format does have the user that posted the mention. So my question is has anybody had this problem? if so what have you done to resolve it?
