I’m using /recent search endpoint and trying to get the full text of tweets. But the tweets look like they’re limited to 140 characters. How do I get the full tweet text?

That’s weird - in v2 the extended Tweet text should be included by default. Can you please share an example query?

#3

Here’s a query I had just run. The tweet text reaches the 280 character limit when it has media, but stops at 140 if it is just text:

…/recent?query=%23msignite%20OR%20%23msignite2020&tweet.fields=conversation_id,created_at,author_id,possibly_sensitive&expansions=attachments.media_keys&media.fields=preview_image_url,url,width,height&max_results=100

I just ran the same query, and I agree that I’m seeing what seem to be shortened text fields with (…) values at the end of them, but when I look at those same Tweets on the web, I see the same thing, so I think they are being truncated before they are being posted. There are a lot of RTs in that search response, as well.

#5

For anyone else wondering, I revised my query with -is:retweet to ignore retweets since I could get those numbers in public_metrics instead.

Thanks for clarifying @andypiper
