I try to extract "retweet cascades" from twitter, i.e. I want to chose a certain tweet and then extract its retweets. I know about the function get_retweets(), however this function only extracts the most recent retweets, while I want to have the earliest retweets. I also know that there is a limit on the number of retweets that can be extracted, so it is clear that I cannot just extract all the retweets and then sort them by their timestamp.
Is there a way to do this?
Eventually, I want to apply a Hawkins self-exciting process model, so it is essential to have the first retweets.
