Question

I’m building a web application using the Twitter API, and was wondering if there is any way to get the the favorite count of a tweet. I searched a lot but with no luck. There must be a way cause I saw this feature in so many applications. Can you help me with this?

Answer 1

There is an unofficial API that you can use to get tweet summary.

To get tweet summary from the API:

https://api.twitter.com/i/statuses/[tweet.id]/activity/summary.json

This is the (sample) result:

{
   "favoriters":[113682166],
   "favoriters_count":"1",
   "repliers":[],
   "repliers_count":"0",
   "retweeters_count":"1",
   "retweeters":[113682166]
}
