What’s the REST API call required to undo/remove/destroy/delete a retweet (of another user) from the authenticated user’s timeline? There’s simply no mention of this in the API documentation on the Twitter website.
Native retweet has all attributes of a simple tweet including a unique ID. So, you can use statuses/destroy method to remove it.
How to get that ID depends on your application. First, it’s returned by statuses/retweet method. Second, you can get user’s timeline and parse out ID of this tweet.
