Is Twitter adding face metadata for uploaded images? I just scraped a tweet that added the following keys to entities.media:

{
  "features": {
    "large": {
      "faces": [
        {
          "x": 419,
          "y": 244,
          "h": 46,
          "w": 46
        },
        {
          "x": 280,
          "y": 206,
          "h": 55,
          "w": 55
        },
        {
          "x": 532,
          "y": 236,
          "h": 52,
          "w": 52
        },
        {
          "x": 158,
          "y": 255,
          "h": 54,
          "w": 54
        }
      ]
    },
    "medium": {
      "faces": [
        {
          "x": 419,
          "y": 244,
          "h": 46,
          "w": 46
        },
        {
          "x": 280,
          "y": 206,
          "h": 55,

      ]
    },

Very interesting! do you have an example tweet where this is returned? I don’t think it’s documented anywhere yet.

#3

I’m getting it from the statuses/user_timeline endpoint for users such as @jack, but not when using statuses/lookup with the tweet id.

Yep, i’m able to get the same, statuses/user_timeline gives the extra meta data.

#5

Do you have any historical data that would give an idea about how long this has been the case. I don’t think it was happening earlier this week.

#6

No idea! i don’t have tweets from that endpoint to check when that data started appearing.
