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,
