So I have a (`statuses/filter`) that uses `follow` with a list of users instead of `filter`. I would like to get all tweets that are tweeted, and retweeted by the users that my stream follows.
So lets assume UserOne is one of the users my stream follows:
- Every tweet that UserOne tweets should appear in my stream.
- Every tweet that UserOne retweets should also appear in my stream.
Now this works, but additionally the stream returns every tweet that other people retweet from UserOne. More precisely, as it explains here:
https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/overview/request-parameters#follow
> "Retweets of any Tweet created by the user."
I want to omit this functionality. I've been checking tweet structure to see if there is any way to omit this manually (https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/tweets) however it seems like there is no way to determine if a tweet is a retweet by the user that's being followed.
Any ideas are appreciated.
