[comnico]

I am trying to get values of Tweet’s url_clicks using ads API, but value of url_clicks always return null.

@comnico - Closing the loop here, the value app_clicks encompasses url or link clicks. In your case, since users clicked a link in the tweet, that will increase the counter for app clicks. The value url_clicks in the stats response corresponds to a prior beta product. I have made note of this and will discuss internally to either deprecate parameter or have the backend datasource updated to reflect param name (url_clicks). Thanks for flagging.
