Using the Twitter API - is it possible to get number of retweets and number of media images? (x-post from Python)

Hi guys, not sure if this is the right place for this, but is it possible through the Twitter API to get the total number of retweets a user has? Not just on a specific post, but the total number of retweets associated with a specific account? Or alternatively, what fraction of all tweets were retweeted content rather than original posts?

Also, is it possible to get the number of media images associated with an an account? What I mean is, if you go to a user's page, on the lefthand side it will say something like "2,200 Photos and Videos". Thanks!
