I am aware that using Twitter API endpoints, we can access the timestamp for a tweet or retweet. Can we access the timestamp when a user liked (or favorited) a tweet?

You can not access the timestamp for a 'like'/'favorite' via the REST API, you can see 'like' actions via the Streaming API User streams, the problem is that you must be following the account that likes the Tweet before he performs the action to capture the event.

Events you can detect: https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/overview/messages-types#Events_event

  • Thanks for the response Juan. With the REST API, I can get the count of likes but as you said we can't fetch the 'like' timestamps. – Sriram Dec 08 '15 at 19:06
