Retrieve tweet from its shorten URL

[interlectus]

Hello, when I click an URL on a tweet, Twitter transform it in shorten URL without original ID.
How to retrieve with REST APIs please. Thanks;

You can do this without the Twitter API. Here is a discussion on stackoverflow for Python:

How to get the URL of a redirect with Python

Once you have the full permalink, parse the Tweet ID from the URL.

Thanks, and do you know, in JS, how to retrieve a tweet from its ID ? “search_tweets” seems to be a not adapted command, impossible to find the right one for specific ID.

 me._cb.__call(
			"search_tweets",
			"id:692597846713995264",
			function (reply, rate, err) {
			    //...
			},
			false // this parameter required
		);
