Hi jarón,
Each Tweet contains a "retweet_count" which tells you the number of times a
Tweet has been retweeted (up to 100). Then, to find out the person who last
retweeted a Tweet you can call /1/statuses/retweets/:id .
You can learn more about the API request on our developer resources site:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/retweets/:id
