twitter retweets api

I'm using twitte开发者_Go百科r gem as a library to work with twitter api. I've noticed a weird issue with getting retweets for the tweet. Whenever I make a call I get only retweets from my mutual connections.

So, if someone retweets my post I'll never be able to get that retweet using proper api call. However, search function might be a solution for this. But It's not suitable for all cases.

Anyone had the same problem with twitter ? Any advice or tips ?:)

The twitter API allows for retweets of me, which seems to be what you want. I haven't used the twitter gem, but that API method is listed in the docs.
