Hey so I am trying to set up a filtered stream call to aggregated videos matching certain hashtags set up in the filter rules.

After searching a bit on this forum, it seems that media.fields=url will not currently work for videos. It seems that I can get the default media fields of media_key and type. Would I be able to use the media_key to somehow retrieve the video URL or media object? I couldn’t find anything in the docs that explains what media_key is for, the description simply says its for programmatically fetching media.

At this time, the video URL is not part of the v2 Tweet objects. This is a known request, but right now we don’t have anything to share on the availability of this information.

I also need this. The documentation shows url is a field that can be included, but the API does not include it. This is broken. It’s like omitting the text of a tweet.

Looks like it has been removed from the docs now :neutral_face: (except for the example at the bottom)

This makes ZERO sense.
