tweepy problem to to get a list of retweeters - komarek - Oct-11-2017
so
i have a script that takes a timeline from user X and parse all his last tweets and print out a list of people that retweeted those tweets (for each one of them)
the code is something like this:
for tweet in api.user_timeline(screen_name = "XXXXX", count=20):
print("TWEET:", tweet.text)
for reTweet in api.retweets(tweet.id):
print("USER:", reTweet.user.screen_name)and it's working perfectEXCEPT for the tweets that are actually not created by X but just Retweeted... in this case i have an empty list of retweeters.
do you know how to fix this?

Hi , you helped me with this code so I decide to help you.
When you take the tweets from the timeline its like the user write that tweet, so u have to find original tweet with the tweet.id and check for retweeters there.
I Hope I could help, and sorry for my english.
