You'll have to authenticate to use this call, but you don't have to
authenticate as the user who posted the original tweet. Any valid
user should do.

Is there a way to get at the retweets without entering a username and
password?
Thanks,

Also note that the safer way to do what (I think) you're trying to do
is to use the retweets API
(http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-retweets
),
for example
curl -uyouruser:yourpassword api.twitter.com/1/statuses/retweets/5865706501.xml

Great! I checked through the code paths, and they look solid on

I figured out what's happening. When "RT @thekabira" gets added
to the
front of the tweet, it makes the tweet text longer than 140
characters, so
it then cuts off the rest of the tweet, which is what had "act"
in it, so it
never shows up through the streaming api tracking for anything
with "act" in
it.
So this tweet: "What’s the deal with the Climate Bill? RT new
#climategraphic, win a prize!http://bit.ly/12H1X7via @PhaedraEL
http://act.ly/Rxt";
turns into this, when it's retweeted:
"RT @thekabira: What’s the deal with the Climate Bill? RT new

My understanding is that the only way to get all the new
retweets is
through the streaming API because they don't show up in
search. So I'm
using the track method, but I'm not seeing retweets come through.
Specifically, this:http://twitter.com/thekabira/status/
5865706501was
retweeted twice, but I didn't see it come through. Old style
retweets
continue to come through normally.
