Get A Users Over All Retweet and Mention Counts using Twitter API

Question

We are working on some analytics using the amount a user is retweeted or mentioned... I can't seem to find a way to get these numbers using the apis does anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&include_rts=true&screen_name={screen_name}&count={count}

it's important to include the line include_entities=true to the request. This will give you an expanded response including re-tweet and mention counts.

Update:

to get tweets from the last 90 days, there is a Node.js library you can use called Snapbird
