how to get the total number of retweets of my account?

looks like there is a method that gives the retweets of a particular tweet. IS there any way to find out the total number of all retweets of my tweets?

The answer is no. There may be a few hacks to get an approximation, but the answer is still no.

Twitter urges developers to think of timelines as an infinite stream rather than a finite list of tweets. You cannot count something when it has infinite length, so you cannot get the total number of retweets.

What you can do is take a small piece of the timeline (1000 tweets?) and say "I was retweeted 200 times in my past 1000 tweets".

When developing Twitter applications, always take this into consideration. There's no such thing as "all tweets", just the last x.
