Any response to this or any of the other proposals?

Thank you for your contribution! Our engineering team is reviewing your proposal and will provide feedback in a couple weeks.

Thanks! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to add - this feature (knowing the exact retweet id) is essential for studying spread of information

[bhalsey]

Thank you for your submission. The review team is moving this proposal to a Revision needed status. This means there are a few changes we’d like you to make before we can accept the proposal.

-Adding an endpoint with the URL path of /2/tweets/:id/retweets would make it clearer this returns tweets and mitigates the id confusion mentioned.

-Can you expand on the metadata of the retweet you are interested in?

-Under Alternatives Considered, can you add mention of a couple of other products:
-The Account Activity API (AAA - available for Enterprise and Premium customers) provides retweet information for followed users. But this does not provide historical information, and event delivery is pushed via webhooks.
-We also support retweets_of_status_id: in PowerTrack (not available in v2 filtered stream). Just like AAA, it only returns real time results. This is also available via Historical PowerTrack, but it is only available to enterprise users and managed customers.

Once those changes are committed, we will accept the proposal. Please let us know as soon as your changes are made so we can accept them quickly.

As a reminder, note that an approval does not guarantee an implementation; it means we agree in principle with the proposed changes and we will consider implementing. There are circumstances that may prevent implementation (for example, further privacy and security review, a change in roadmap or priorities, or a scheduled release of functionality that supersedes this proposal).

@bhalsey thanks! Updated! I also added a better example of the expected output.
