ENH: twitter.js: indicate retweets

[westurner]

An indication of retweets would be helpful.

• https://dev.twitter.com/rest/tools/console
• 1.1 API URLs would probably work, as well
  https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=twitterapi&include_rts=1&count=2
• 573d95a
• https://github.com/christianv/jquery-lifestream/blob/master/src/services/twitter.js
• https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text (Apache 2.0 👍 )

@westurner currently we scrape the data since we want to avoid our users having to generate oAuth tokens. So basically this would be an option that we need to pass to our scraper: https://github.com/christianv/twittery

How would is_quote_status / retweeted, in_reply_to data be accessed from the templates?

[christianvuerings]

Because the scraper would provide those properties. If you prefer to go through the API you could e.g. always write your own service - e.g. twitterAuthenticatedService.js which would consume an API token.
