Re: [twitter-dev] Re: How to tell an item is a re-tweet?
Hi everyone,
Whilst the retweet_count is generally returned along with statuses, the
retweeted datapoint remains false. Instead it is recommended developers
include the include_my_retweet=1 parameter when requesting timelines.
The include_my_retweet parameter will cause a new datapoint
current_user_retweet to be included in the status if the current user has
retweeted it. This datapoint contains the status ID of the retweet the
authenticating user created. This is the status ID to destroy if you wish to
undo the retweet.
Example:
current_user_retweet: {
id: 26815871309
},
I hope that helps,

does not include retweets made by you and on top of that it does not
include whether a particular tweet has been retweeted or not. It is
confusion for the end user.
User will try to retweet and he will get a error message. But it will
better if user knows whether he can retweet a particular tweet or not

Hi all,
I'm trying to implement similar functionality to the home timeline on
twitter where re-tweets appear as such and you have the option of
undoing it. The trouble is I cannot tell if a status is a re-tweet or
not. Statuses on the home timeline appear to include a re-tweeted
parameter but it is always false regardless of the fact I've re-
tweeted that item. Can anybody offer some insight on how to do this?
Cheers,
Matei

[twitter-dev] Re: How to tell an item is a re-tweet?
UPDATE: I found this page that would indicate that the retweet field is currently disabled and suggests another way to see if something has been retweeted: http://www.devcomments.com/retweeted-variable-in-home-timeline-at288280.htm On Sep 20, 2:01 pm, Matei mad.doroba...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I'm trying to implement similar functionality to the home timeline on twitter where re-tweets appear as such and you have the option of undoing it.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to tell an item is a re-tweet?
Actually, allow me to re-phrase that: how do I know if I've re-tweeted an item? I would like to prevent users from re-tweeting the same status multiple time. So similar to the home timeline on twitter where they have the Undo functionality for re-tweets. Sorry if I caused any confusion...
