I am trying to obtain the retweet stats for a particular tweet using the function statuses.retweets(), and the docs say the trim_user parameter can be used here (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/retweets/%3Aid). However, this does not seem to work. Can anyone help me with this?
The code with user_trim parameter
obj=t.statuses.retweets(id=419339536628736000,count=2,trim_user="true")
After storing in JSON file and printing, the output is
