Twitter Retweeters API | Who Retweeted a Tweet

Tweet Retweeters lists the accounts that retweeted a given tweet, cursor-paginated as full user objects. Use it for amplification analysis and to identify the specific accounts that spread a post. Pass a tweet ID or URL; each page is one $0.0008 read at the standard rate.

Pricing

Each page of retweeters is one $0.0008 read, so a widely-shared tweet costs one call per page. Cap paging to the reach sample you need.

When to use

Use it for amplification analysis, for example identifying which high-follower accounts retweeted your announcement.

Pagination

This endpoint is cursor-paginated and returns roughly 20 records per call. Pass the next_cursor from each response back as the cursor parameter to read the next page. Stop when the records array comes back empty: follower-graph endpoints return a non-null cursor even on the final page, so the empty array is the only reliable stop signal. See Pagination for the full loop.

FAQ

Does Tweet Retweeters include quote tweets?

It returns accounts that retweeted the post directly. To find quote tweets, search the tweet URL with Advanced Tweet Search instead.

What does each retweeter row contain?

Each row is a full user object with id, username, name, follower count, and verification, so you can rank reach without a second call.

How do I read every retweeter?

Page with next_cursor until the users array comes back empty, which is the universal stop signal.
