Empty Media entities on tweets containing media

[bentinata]

Maybe it’s because new video support. On other post I see they got extended_entities field.

[macinux]

extended_entities

maybe. but I can not see extended_entities in the jsonString. It’s just frustrating.

[yunwei]

Yea, especially with tweets with media entity.

[zorrobiwan]

Problem still there

[andypiper]

Thanks for all the reports. We will investigate. Per the announcement forum, extended entities for GIFs and Video should be populated in early Feb, but this shouldn’t affect existing image / media support.

[bentinata]

Thanks, right now my services is calling REST API everytime Stream API trigger.

[andypiper]

The team is looking into this issue as a priority. Thanks for your patience.

[emisiona]

Just let you know we are having the same problem here. Media entities come empty even if the tweet has images attached.

[kohner86]

We’re experiencing the same issue. The ‘media’ property on the ‘entities’ object is completely missing.

[zorrobiwan]

Thx Andy.

Any ETA ?

[thebryza]

We are also experiencing this issue on the streaming API.

[andypiper]

We believe the issue that caused this has been resolved - are media entities no visible to others?

[thebryza]

I just did a test post, and received the correct data. I will keep testing but initial report would be that this looks fixed.

[basthebuilder]

Fixed for me too!

[juam]

Seems to work for me! Thanks

[bentinata]

Thanks.

[zorrobiwan]

Thanks !

[andypiper]

Great news, and apologies once again for the inconvenience and problems caused.

[recastrodiaz]

Thanks for the support Andy!

However, it looks like the “retweeted_status” is still missing the media entities. See JSON below:

• Below is a Status coming from the streaming API. Notice that the retweeted_status.entities are all empty arrays, even though the tweet clearly contains media.
