Hi everyone,
Whilst the retweet_count is generally returned along with statuses, the
retweeted datapoint remains false. Instead it is recommended developers
include the include_my_retweet=1 parameter when requesting timelines.
The include_my_retweet parameter will cause a new datapoint
I am having the exact same problem. First of all home_timeline method
does not include retweets made by you and on top of that it does not
include whether a particular tweet has been retweeted or not. It is
confusion for the end user.
User will try to retweet and he will get a error message. But
UPDATE:
I found this page that would indicate that the retweet field is
currently disabled and suggests another way to see if something has
been retweeted:

Hi
I'm wondering the exact same thing. One would thing the 'retweet'
field would indicate this but it is false all the time for me too
regardless if a post has been retweeted or not. It would be very
confusing to the end user if they still have the ability to retweet a
post that they've already
Actually, allow me to re-phrase that: how do I know if I've re-tweeted
an item? I would like to prevent users from re-tweeting the same
status multiple time. So similar to the home timeline on twitter where
they have the Undo functionality for re-tweets. Sorry if I caused any
confusion...
Cheers,
