I wish there was a public API for tracing retweet paths. It would be incredibly informative.

there's is one way of managing this using regular api requests, the dinosaur ones. url3 = 'https://twitter.com/search?q='+x+'&src=typed_query&f=live …' x being the list of keywords with %=space So then you'd be querying this live feed of theirs, or similar, utilize their search function and automate digging it

The twitter api proper has a, statuses/retweeters/ids endpoint. But all it gets you is a star graph. I want, Johnny <- Alice <- Bob <- Carol where Carol is the one we all retweeted

Cool you already know your output. Next I would imagine is not doing it proper and find it using a couple lines of easier code

Descending a sort backward based on time and adding arrows and concat(), might take a couple minutes.... 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 find 4 first, then 3, then 2, then 1. Could probably use something smart, but i bet a randomizer python script would suffice and html parse is simple

You can't do any of that though. There is no way to get the arrows. You can only get Johnny <- Carol Alice <- Carol Bob <- Carol

lol, you're pulling my leg right now. I am seeing an "ORDER BY" solution rn

order by date.... 1/1/2012, data 1/2/2012, data 1/3/2012, data could use above to render a next step.

Yea doesn't work without considerable uncertainty. You can't see who has chronlogical feeds on; you cant see when / if they were presented OP, Alice, Bob. All you see is the truncated pairwise interactions

every post has a date stamp, which would help you architect the data model. maybe my bad, ive been doing 'just this' kind of data development for a decade.
