This was discussed in another thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/22ee0fd2e6892bd7/1a25f5b8165037ac
and tracked in this ticket:
http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1891
In summary the retweeted_status field remains false and instead you should
use the include_my_retweet=1 parameter when requesting timelines.
The include_my_retweet parameter will cause a new datapoint
"current_user_retweet" to be included in the status if the current user has
retweeted it. It contains the status ID of the retweet the authenticating
user created, which is also the status ID to destroy if you wish to undo the
retweet.
Example:
"current_user_retweet": {
"id": 26815871309,
"id_str": "26815871309"
},
To know if a Tweet has been retweeted by other users you would need to
either observe the value of retweet_count or make a request to:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/retweets/:id (docs:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/retweets/:id)
If the retweet_count is null it means either the Tweet has not been
retweeted or the retweet_count field is disabled.
For the moment though the field is disabled as we work on it's stability.
When it is re-enabled we will Tweet on @twitterapi to let you know.
Best,
Matt
