[Air-L] Collecting Retweets

[Deena Abul-Fottouh]

   Hello Aoir,

    I am trying to collect retweets of a certain tweet. To my knowledge,
   the Twitter API does not allow for such a command. I read online that a
   workaround for this could be to enter the URL of the tweet as a query
   and use the Get URL command. This ended up giving me the quotes of the
   tweet and the RTs of the quotes but not not the RTs of the original
   tweet. Do you know if it is possible to collect the retweets of the
   original tweet?

   Any advice on this?

   Thank you

   Best,

   Deena
