Is it possible to use the Twitter API to search user "A"'s tweets and find the account that retweeted "User A"'s tweets the most?
Yes, you can do it with statuses/retweets_of_me if you you have user "A"'s token and secret (he is using your app).
Alternatively you can use statuses/mentions to find all tweets containing RT #A .... "A"'s retweets and count them manually.

Is there a way to get tweets of users who i am following using Account Activity API?
Or there is any way to get tweets of specific users?
Yes, absolutely! If your account is subscribed to the AA API then you should see Tweets mentioning you on the webhook. If you are interested in Tweets from specific users then use the timelines API.
Is there a way in the Twitter API v1.1 to get the id's of all the users that replied, favorited and retweeted to a particular tweet using its id?
I've searched in older posts but I didn't find an simple way to do it.
Thanks
According to Twitter Staff Episod,
It's not possible with the API after the fact for a tweet that has more than 100 retweets. You would need to collect them in real time as they happen to collect them all. The Streaming API is the best bet for tracking such things.
So, you can only get 100 Retweets ID of a tweet through REST API. Move to Streaming API to get all the Retweets ID but you can't get the past data. You can only get data in Streaming API from present - to - future.
I am new to using twitter streaming api.
I want to allow users to tweet from my application a text . And then if some body retweets that, i want to get notified.
If there are thousands of users who tweeted from my app, i need to know if somebody retweeted for each of their tweet.
Do we need to do constantly search for each users tweet id using streaming api to see if there are any retweets. ?
For this to happen , should i user give permission for my twitter app so we can see if any retweets
What's the REST API call required to undo/remove/destroy/delete a retweet (of another user) from the authenticated user's timeline? There's simply no mention of this in the API documentation on the Twitter website.
Native retweet has all attributes of a simple tweet including a unique ID. So, you can use statuses/destroy method to remove it.
How to get that ID depends on your application. First, it's returned by statuses/retweet method. Second, you can get user's timeline and parse out ID of this tweet.
For statuses/mentions, I need to authenticate as a user. I want to see the user's mentions without asking him/her to authenticate. If the tweets are public, what are the mentions not public ?
I'm writing to do this
Check the Twitter search API
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/search/api-reference/get-search-tweets.html
To find all user mentions: just use #username as search term.
I would like to add that Twitter's Search API returns only tweets from past 7 days. So if you want to retrieve ALL tweets mentioning an arbitrary user, you can't.If anyone finds a way to do this, please mention.
There is no way to get a user's mentions using the statuses/mentions endpoint because this is possible using the search api.
