Calling “statuses/user_timeline” making sure to pass in the “include_rts=true” parameter does not return all retweets.
Example:
- User A retweets User B’s tweet.
- “statuses/user_timeline” returns the retweet
- User B now makes his account protected.
- “statuses/user_timeline” does not return the retweet, BUT if the user’s account is viewed through twitter.com we see the protected retweet on his tweet list.
Conversely in the Twitter 1.0 API “statuses/retweeted_by_me” WILL return the protected retweet, even though “user_timeline” does not. “statuses/retweeted_by_me” currently does not exist in the 1.1 API, any suggestions?
Thanks.
