GET statuses/retweets/:id

Please note

We recently released Retweet lookup, a Twitter API v2 endpoint that has similar functionality to this one. The new version is currently in development and serves adequate access for the majority of developers on our platform. While elevated levels of access are coming to v2 soon, developers in need of higher levels of access should continue to use this endpoint along with the Twitter API v2 version.
