I want to count re tweets counts for different screen name using single access

  • 0

I want to count re tweets counts for different screen name using single access token and consumer key etc.
so, because of that I am using APi – GET statuses/user_timeline. to extract all its statuses and trying to identify retweets count from that.
Actually, i have used APi – GET statuses/retweets_of_me for retweets counts but it is only working for the account for which access token and etc is available. but i want to download retweets count for other user account also.
How we can distinguish between or find exact – retweets_of_me from user timeline response.
Beacuse from user timeline i am getting all type of statuses. but i want only retweets of me.
Thanks in advance

    If you want to see how many times a specific tweet has been retweeted, it’s very easy.

    You want to use statuses/show – read the documentation.

    Here’s one of my tweets:

    https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show.json?id=224808742712115200

    You will see that one of the parameters in the returned JSON is

    "retweet_count":5

    That means, the tweet was retweeted 5 times.

    You do not need to be authenticated in order to make this API request.
