While tweets served in the REST API have the favorite_count field attached to them, tweets streamed in the Streaming API are currently missing this field & value, or including null values. While all new tweets are created with a favorite_count of "0", retweeted_status objects within retweets would have a non-zero favorite_count when the originating tweet has been favorited.
Updates
- We're working to resolve this temporary issue. Thank you for your reports.
