Hello, and thanks for your reply. When I said ridiculous, I don't meant to offend you cause I REALLY appreciate your work. I was just discussing my point of view. Sorry for that.
About the retweets: Imagine I get my home_timeline. I will get the 'normal' tweets (posted by me via web, for example), the retweets I did and the tweets (and retweets) done by the ones I'm following. The thing is, how can I identify if a element from the home_timeline is a 'normal' tweet or a retweet done by me? For example, in the retweets done by the people you are following, you have the retweeted_status and with that I know that is a retweet instead of a 'normal' tweet by him/her. But with my own, I dont know. The goal is I want to add the Undo(retweet) in my application. To do the undo I need to know which of those are retweets. You understand my problem? Maybe I'm missing something. If so, I'm being ridiculous :) Thanks a lot, Luis On Jul 6, 7:01 am, Raffi Krikorian <ra...@twitter.com> wrote: > i don't think "ridiculous" is the right term :P we're constantly evolving > the API to match up with what our developers are trying to do! > > so - that being said - what are you looking for? are you trying to figure > out which tweets on the home timeline has the authenticating user retweeted? > > > > On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 2:58 PM, luisg <luisfmgoncal...@gmail.com> wrote: > > So, instead of 1, now I have to do 2 call (one for the home_timeline > > and another for the retweets_of_me). > > > I started to understand the 'Tiwtter is over capacity' error! > > > ...ridiculous... > > > On Jul 5, 6:17 pm, Thomas Woolway <priv...@tswoolway.co.uk> wrote: > > > I don't think that you're doing anything wrong - it's just a quirk of the > > > API - you don't get any info in your home timeline on stuff you > > retweeted. > > > > I think this is because of the condition that you should never see a > > retweet > > > if you would have seen it already in your timeline.
