Getting this tweet via API, the retweeted_status is false even if the tweet is undoubtly a retweet. Why?

What exact endpoint and what library did you use to make the call?

I’m getting a correct and expected payload using v2 API:

twarc2 tweet 1522522860304187393

But i did just notice that using v1.1 statuses/show

twurl "/1.1/statuses/show/1522522860304187393.json"

the truncated fields seems incorrect - it’s false for the retweet, and true for the retweeted tweet, it should be the other way around!

I’m using 1.1 API.
