Using Tweepy Stream, How do I search for retweets? <p>I am currently using Tweepy's stream in order to fetch tweets. For some reason, it does not seem to show that I am fetching any sort of retweets. The <code>retweet_count</code> field is always 0 and the <code>retweeted</code> field is always false. Normal tweets are showing up however...</p> <p>Am I looking at the wrong field to retrieve retweets? Or are there really not enough retweets in the US?</p> <p>Here is the code that I am working with:</p> <pre><code>access_token = xxxx access_token_secret = xxxx consumer_key =xxxx consumer_secret = xxxx class StdOutListener(StreamListener): def on_data(self, data): if 'retweet_count' in json.loads(data) and 'retweeted' in json.loads(data): if json.loads(data)['retweet_count']&gt;0 or json.loads(data)['retweeted']=True: print(json.loads(data)) return True def on_error(self, status): print(status) if __name__ == '__main__': l = StdOutListener() auth = OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret) auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret) stream = Stream(auth, l) print("Use CTRL + C to exit at any time.\n") #stream.filter(track=['trump','hilary']) stream.filter(locations=[-124.848974, 24.396308, -66.885444, 49.384358]) </code></pre>
