How do I get an array of all users who retweeted a retweeted tweet using python3.
#!/usr/bin/python
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# twitter-retweets
# - print who has retweeted tweets from a given user's timeline
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
from twitter import *
import pymongo
from pymongo import MongoClient
import tweepy
import twitter
import json
import re
user=input("Enter the user for whom you want to extract people retweeting : ")
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# load our API credentials
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CONSUMER_KEY = ' '
CONSUMER_SECRET = ' '
ACCESS_TOKEN = ' '
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = ' '
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# create twitter API object
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
twitter = Twitter(
auth = OAuth(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET, CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET))
#DataBase Connection
client = MongoClient()
db = client.tweet_User_db
tweet_collection = db.tweet_collection_RetweetUser
tweet_collection.create_index([("id", pymongo.ASCENDING)],unique = True) # make sure the collected tweets are unique
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# perform a basic search
# twitter API docs: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/statuses/user_timeline
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# loop through each of my statuses, and print its content
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
results = twitter.statuses.user_timeline(screen_name = user)
for status in results:
if not ((str(status)).startswith('RT')):
print (("@%s %s") % (user, status["text"]))
tweet_collection.insert(status)
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# do a new query: who has RT'd this tweet?
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
retweets = twitter.statuses.retweets._id(_id = status["id"])
for retweet in retweets:
print ((" - retweeted by %s") % (retweet["user"]["screen_name"]))
#asdf=str(retweet)
#pat = re.compile(r"RT (\w+): ")
#x=pat.findall(asdf)
#print(("original author is %s" )%(x))
tweet_collection.insert(retweet)
