How can I get the image banner of tweet?

[dudoan1234]

At present I use Asynchronous Analytics to get report.

• First step: create job_id by POST stats/jobs/accounts/:account_id
• Second step: Get report url by GET stats/jobs/accounts/:account_id using above job_id and download report by response url.

But, How can I get the image in ads manager screen by using Twitter Ads API?

You’ll have to extract a thumbnail of the media associated with the Tweet.

The view you have selected is the Promoted Tweets view for a given campaign / line item. In the response, you’ll see a tweet_id response attribute. With that ID, you can look up the specific Tweet using the GET statuses/show/:id or GET statuses/lookup endpoints.

Thank you for your answer. But if I use this solution, I am afraid of that it will be out of rate limit because I have many thread to get report in the same time and each thread maybe has many tweet_id to get image.

Your best bet is not to make those requests every time your users access a view where you’d need this images. Rather, you can pull this when the POST accounts/:account_id/promoted_tweets (or related) request is made and store this information on your end.

Hope this helps.

@juanshishido Thank you very much for you explaination. If I use GET statuses/lookup to get image and text of tweet.

I want to ask you one more question. What is the field that stands for value of image banner of tweet? because I see a lot of field in user object. And I am not sure that the image banner field is belong to user object because I see the id of tweet is different with the id in user object.

“user”: {
“profile_background_image_url”: “http://abs.twimg.com/images/themes/theme7/bg.gif”,
“profile_background_image_url_https”: “https://abs.twimg.com/images/themes/theme7/bg.gif”,
“profile_image_url”: “http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/448483168580947968/pL4ejHy4_normal.jpeg”,
“profile_image_url_https”: “https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/448483168580947968/pL4ejHy4_normal.jpeg”,
“profile_banner_url”: “https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_banners/12/1347981542”,
}

@dudoan1234: The user object includes user information so it would not be a good place to look for the Tweet image.

Let’s take a look at an example. See the following Tweet:

API McTestface (apimctestface)

Now, try to find the image URL.
