Question

I have some JS that retrieves the latest 3 tweets, which is returned as JSON from Twitter.

Suddenly, today, only 2 Tweets were showing. I noticed twitter limits this latest to the last 7 days. Fine I thought, so I tweet again…however, still, only 2 tweets are showing, despite there being more than 3 tweets made in the last week.

Here is my URL I am calling:

https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=tokheimgroup&count=3&callback=?

If you then examine this page:

https://twitter.com/tokheimgroup

You’ll notice that in the JSON returned from the first link, the re-tweet is not being returned as the 3rd tweet. Is there an additional parameter to include re-tweets?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You have to include &include_rts=1:

https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=tokheimgroup&count=3&include_rts=1&callback=?
