According to Twitter API, it returns up to 100 of the first retweets of a given tweet.
- What is the best way to measure number of retweets, when the amount is higher than 100?
- What is the best way to find top influencer of my tweet (Person, who retweeted my tweet, and he has the highest number of retweets.
found the answers:
Twitter API Get Status provide amount of retweets: "retweet_count" If you want to get all retweets you should periodically query Twitter to get retweets.
Note: In spite, Twitter API allows to return up to 100 retweets, it usually return only latest retweets during last random timing frame.
New style retweets track only first level. Example:
@bob: My Awesome application http://bit.ly/1234
@alice: RT: @bob My Awesome application http://bit.ly/1234
But if @eve RT @alice retweet, the message will be similar to alice's and she won't be mentioned in it.
@eve: RT: @bob My Awesome application http://bit.ly/1234
The old style was (not in use anymore): RT: @alice: RT: @bob My Awesome application http://bit.ly/1234
Important! There is some Twitter API limit https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting/1.1. OAuth-enabled application could initiate 350 GET-based requests per hour per access token.
