include:retweets does not work

Open wagaman opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Hi it seems that the search result does not return retweets although the request contains include:retweets

Any idea? has Twitter called off this kind of requests?

This stackexchange post explains it. Retweets are no references to the original tweet and not marked with "RT @user" anymore. The search did not get updated accordingly it seems

Is there a way to make it fixed? Or is there any code that is able to get these RTs? Thanks!

Did anyone figure out a way to change the code to include retweets? Thanks!

Hi @bpb27, thanks for this resource. Your Trump tweet archive seems to be updating with retweets for Trump but when I run your Twitter scraper code (scrape.py), it doesn't pull his retweets. Might you have a suggestion on how to tweak the code to get retweets?
