Untweets a retweeted status. Returns the original Tweet with Retweet details embedded.

Usage Notes:

  • The untweeted retweet status ID must be authored by the user backing the authentication token.
  • An application must have write privileges to POST. A HTTP 401 will be returned for read-only applications.
  • When passing a source status ID instead of the retweet status ID a HTTP 200 response will be returned with the same Tweet object but no action.
