Suggestions on Adding the Retweet Count and the Favorite Count of a Tweet.

[Ahmed Ibrahim Khalil]

Hi Mehrdad,

I see that I am with the second (the one that include the mockups) and I
guess I can implement it.

The problem now is how to get the favorites count of a tweet, After
searching on Google I found no official solution except an undocumented API
at that link [1].

So I'd like to know if you are comfortable with using an undocumented API
or not ?
