Re: [twitter-dev] Retweet count for status?
Hi Tim, There's currently no way to get this count without significant use of the API in most contexts. At this time, we only offer the retweet count for popular tweets results on the search.twitter.com API: http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/search Taylor Singletary Developer Advocate, Twitter http://twitter.com/episod On Sun, May 2, 2010 at 6:12 PM, Tim Bull tim.b...@binaryplex.com wrote: Hi, I noticed that http://search.twitter.com/search?q=Lakers+OR+%23Lakers is returning a recent retweets count which is neat. I can see this in the search API, but I can't see where this would be in the normal API. I'd like to call a specific status and see the retweet count. Is there a way to do this (short of executing a search for the specific tweet)? Cheers Tim

If you have a specific status and want to get retweet information about it you can call: http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/retweets Abraham On Sun, May 2, 2010 at 18:12, Tim Bull tim.b...@binaryplex.com wrote: Hi, I noticed that http://search.twitter.com/search?q=Lakers+OR+%23Lakers is returning a recent retweets count which is neat.

Re: [twitter-dev] Retweet count in status
It's on the todo list.

Once piece of really valuable information on the user timeline against each status would be the retweet count. Obviously doing this ourselves via API calls could be expensive (in terms of hits we're sending), so it makes sense if it were available in the API. I can see lots of use for having just the count in there, just as we have the favorited flag. Any chance it's coming? Cheers, Remy. -- Marcel Molina Twitter Platform Team http://twitter.com/noradio
