Hi, I’m looking for documentation that explains how Twitter retrieves media from external websites.

The functionality I’m referring to is perhaps best explained by giving examples.

Example 1:
Russell Brand linked to his WordPress website, which created a preview image and text.

Example 2:
Russell Brand linked to a tickets page of an obscure festival (edfringe.com), which also created a preview image and text.

Example 3:
Daniel P. Carter linked to a YouTube video, which created a preview image and text, and an embedded video.

Example 4:
Vimeo linked to a Vimeo video, which created a large preview image and text.

Thanks.

Oh, the Suggested Topics below my post allowed me to find documentation pages about “Twitter Cards”.
So, I should now have what I was looking for. Feel free to close this thread.
