No matter how I changed my code, it never returns Retweet_id, retweeter_userid, retweeter_username. Can somebody help me out?

Hey, I'm also interested in scraping retweets. With the normal search function of Twitter no retweets are shown. Does this scraper crawl the retweets but without your mentioned information?

Hi @RishengP and @HJoentgen As mentioned in 2.4.0 you can only obtain retweets if you scrape all of the tweets from an user profile. Since a normal search does not show any retweets, those field will be empty.

In any case, I'll adapt the README file to make this more explicit.
