[twitter-dev] Re: Is includes_rts=true for statuses/mentions broken?
I figured out why I was not seeing native retweets being included in my results. I was calling api.twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline, but should have been calling api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline. Adding the 1/ for the api version made the difference. Perhaps that is the cause of Anil's problem as well. On Feb 10, 2:06 am, Abraham Williams 4bra...@gmail.com wrote: I think you have the wrong idea of what include_rts does.

Include_rts has no effect on /statuses/mentions because the original tweet is already included due to the fact it is a mention.

[twitter-dev] Re: Is includes_rts=true for statuses/mentions broken?
Abraham, you are right that I had the wrong understanding of the parameter. When I read the timeline will contain native retweets in addition to the standard stream of tweets I didn't realize it meant native retweets of the mentions themselves. It makes sense to me now but I am not sure how that parameter is useful to anyone :-) It's a bit surprising to hear that any REST API client that wants to provide a unified view of mentions/retweets (which makes sense to most users) has to make two calls and merge the results, but I guess that's what I need to do!
