Fteching more than 100 retweets

I am aware that per request twitter provide 100 most recent retweets for a particular tweet using the api end point GET statuses/retweets/:id. In case a particular tweet has been retweeted by say 150 people. So how do I fetch the remaining 50 retweets?

I am using “statuses/retweeters/ids” in combination with the recieved “next_cursor_str” Value
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/retweeters/ids
to get all the Retweets for a Specific Tweet. This should work for you too.

Hey @RomeoMicev. How did you do that? I’ve been trying for hours and I can’t get the cursor. In this [node:21152] the user @episod (Twitter employee) says that this method can’t get more than 100 values, in despite that the documentation says the opposite. Regards.

Hey @RomeoMicev. How did you do that? I’ve been trying for hours and I can’t get the cursor. In this Cursor doesn’t work for “statuses/retweeters/ids” the user @episod (Twitter employee) says that this method can’t get more than 100 values, in despite that the documentation says the opposite.
