Twitter API：检查推文是否为转推

Question

I have found this question . However I think this has changed on API version 1.1.

If I use the search/tweets method, how can I see if the tweet is a RT? I see that the retweeted field always returns false . Is there another field I can use for this answer?

Answer 1

If it's a retweet, the tweet will contain a property named retweeted_status . To be complete, retweeted_status will not appear if the tweet is not a retweet. More info at: Tweets .

Answer 2

By simply checking the property name

"retweeted_status"

if you does not find then it's not RT.

Answer 3

As @Joe Mayo said, check for the retweeted_status key on the status object.

I have an example that is not caught by @Apoorv Ashutosh's suggestion.

See: https://twitter.com/gppvt/status/474162466776449024 this will redirect (because it is a retweet) to the original tweet. However if you get this tweet through the twitter API, it has retweeted_status . Notice the text does not contain "RT".

Answer 4

The retweeted field is false if the retweet is not done using the retweet button but rahter via RT, so in such a case, just search the "text" field of all tweets for this pattern

RT @

This pattern can be of help, but I don't think there is any other function for this.

Answer 5

The retweeted_status property will exist if the received tweet was retweeted, else you will get the AttributeError error. In the case, you want to get rid of retweeted tweets:

def on_status(self, status):
    try:
        print "Retweeted ************* \n" + str(status.retweeted_status)
        return 
    except AttributeError:
        print "there is no attribut with name retweeted_status"

Answer 6

Just to add a bit more. (using twitter gem (ruby language))

You can check if its a retweet by checking the tweet and then getting what you need from the retweeted_status hash

t = client.status(#########) #function that obtains tweet based on ID where # = tweet ID
puts t.retweeted_status? # returns true or false
t.retweeted_status # returns the actual hash for that

Answer 7

As everyone else has mentioned, you can check to see if the retweeted_status property exists in the response subfield for that Tweet.

However, per the current version of the API , every Tweet object has the field retweeted that stores a boolean value (True or False) that will tell you if a Tweet has been retweeted.

Answer 8

Make sure your "re-tweet" is not actually a quote of an another tweet. In this case, I had to use the quoted_status field to get the original tweet, rather than the retweeted_status one.

Answer 9

对于使用Hydrator 1并依赖其CSV导出水合JSONL文件的人：您可以检查reweet_id （不，这不是版本0.0.12中的错字），如果它是NA ，那么它就是我发现的原始推文。

original_twitter_tweets = twitter_csv_data %>% filter(is.na(reweet_id))

Answer 10

I've seen that the text of retweets has a "RT @..." that separates them from normal tweets.

In Python you can use the code below to recognize them:

tweettext = str( tweet.text.lower())
if tweettext.startswith("rt @") == True:
    print(tweet.id)

that tweet variable is tweet object. Also, you can use Tweepy for an easier way of handling twitter Api
