How to find the reblog source from the Tumblr API

Using Tumblr API v2, I have a list of photo posts in JSON using the /posts API call.

For each post I would like to know which user the post was reblogged from (if any), in the same way that Tumblr shows which user a post was reblogged from.

It is possible to get the source_url or source_title from the /posts reply but that is not the last reblogger - that appears to be the initial source.

Any ideas?

Reblog Info

Reblog details are set to false by default when making requests to the Tumblr API. To enable them, send the following parameter, ?reblog_info=true.

Example:

https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/pitchersandpoets.tumblr.com/posts?reblog_info=true

If reblogged, the response will contain the following:

"reblogged_from_id": "139318910829",
"reblogged_from_url": "http:\/\/travelswithzoe.tumblr.com\/post\/139318910829\/happy-valentines-day",
"reblogged_from_name": "travelswithzoe",
"reblogged_from_title": "Travels with Zo\u00eb",
"reblogged_from_uuid": "travelswithzoe.tumblr.com",
"reblogged_from_can_message": true,
"reblogged_root_id": "139318910829",
"reblogged_root_url": "http:\/\/travelswithzoe.tumblr.com\/post\/139318910829\/happy-valentines-day",
"reblogged_root_name": "travelswithzoe",
"reblogged_root_title": "Travels with Zo\u00eb",
"reblogged_root_uuid": "travelswithzoe.tumblr.com",
"reblogged_root_can_message": true
