title: How to crawl retweets of a certain user?
body: <p>I studied the Twitter API Documentation today. Only find that we could use <a href="http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-statuses-user_timeline" rel="noreferrer">"Twitter REST API Method: statuses user_timeline"</a> to acquire statuses of a certain user. Retweets are stripped out of the user_timeline for backwards compatibility reasons. If I want retweets included, API Documentation recommend "statuses retweeted_by_me", but retweeted_by_me cannot return the retweets by other users.   </p>
  
  <p>I think maybe we can analyse the twitter webpage of a certain user to get his retweets. However is there any elegant way to crawl retweets of a certain user? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
