Usage

get_retweets(status_id, n = 100, parse = TRUE, token = NULL, ...)

Arguments

n	optional Specifies the number of records to retrieve. Must be less than or equal to 100.
parse	Logical indicating whether to convert the response object into an R list. Defaults to TRUE.
token	Every user should have their own Oauth (Twitter API) token. By default token = NULL this function looks for the path to a saved Twitter token via environment variables (which is what 'create_token()' sets up by default during initial token creation). For instruction on how to create a Twitter token see the tokens vignette, i.e., 'vignettes("auth", "rtweet")' or see ?tokens.
...	Other arguments used as parameters in the query sent to Twitter's rest API, for example, trim_user = TRUE.
