The Retweeters API for who reposted a tweet

The YepAPI Retweeters API returns the accounts that retweeted any public tweet. Send a tweet id or URL to /v1/twitter/tweet-retweeters and get back full profiles with follower counts and verification, plus a cursor, at $0.01 per call.

It turns a retweet count into a list of real accounts you can analyze, reward, or follow up with.

What does the Retweeters API return?

A users array of User objects (id, username, name, description, followers_count, following_count, tweet_count, verification, avatar, and more) and a cursor for the next page.

Build giveaway checks and reach reports

For a retweet-to-enter contest, page through /v1/twitter/tweet-retweeters and match entrants against the list. For reach analysis, sum followers_count across retweeters and pick out verified accounts. Repeat across campaigns to find your most loyal advocates.
