Is it possible that streaming API is not sending the media entities nor the urls?
For example the tweet https://twitter.com/JuanTrino1980/status/560247258093211648 was delivered
using:

curl https://stream.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/filter.json' --data 'track=%23f00b4r' ... :

We are seeing the same thing from about 7.5 hours ago (about 21:30UTC on the 27th), along with other strangeness in the entities.

Random example I just picked gives media entities via the rest API for ‘560291409522335746’ but when it came through on the streaming API the media key was missing altogether :

"entities":{
  "hashtags":[],
  "trends":[],
  "urls":[],
  "user_mentions":[{"screen_name":"MelissaGeise","name":"Melissa Geise","id":56539140,"id_str":"56539140","indices":[15,28]}],
  "symbols":[]
}

Also note that user @libbydink is missing from the above entities, but does appear in the REST API output, and there appears to be new, undocumented entities here ‘trends’, and ‘symbols’.

same issue here. no media even it has photos posted.

#5

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

#6

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

#7

Yea, especially with tweets with media entity.

#8

Problem still there :frowning:

#9

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.

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

#13

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

#14

Thx Andy.

Any ETA ?

#16

We are also experiencing this issue on the streaming API.

#17

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

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