Some questions about twitter api

[wangdao1]

hi, we have some questions need help.
1、we have a promoted_tweet_id, how can we get image_app_download_id or image_info?(only image,no vedio)
By api doc, we cannot find the api to get image_app_download_id by promoted_tweet_id.

2、when we upload image to media_library, the media_key will expire or long-term effective?

3、When we upload the same image, it return different media_key(media_id).
How can we use the same image don`t need upload twice or more when we create image_app_download?

I’m going to recategorize this request into the Ads category. Our colleagues should be able to help you from there.

Hey @wangdao1

To answer your questions:

1. The promoted_tweet_id is just an association between a Tweet and a line item. The Promoted Tweets endpoint will return the Tweet id. Assuming you’re referring to the image app download card, then the corresponding card_uri can be retrieved from the GET statues/update endpoint with the include_card_uri set to true. With the card_uri you can lookup the specific card details via the Cards Fetch endpoint

2. During the upload step, by default the media_key is set to expire within 24 hours. However, in order to make the media permanent, you can either use the media in a Tweet or use the POST media_library endpoint with the media_key generated from the upload step.

3. In order to avoid having to re-upload the same image with different keys, we’d recommend using the POST media_library endpoint to make this media asset permanent and reusable.

Let me know if there’s any follow up questions.

Thanks!

}

it return no card_uri param. Why is it ? Where I wrong?

[majoritasdev]

@wangdao1: in entities.urls.expanded.url you have the card’s link: https://cards.twitter.com/cards/18ce54md5fm/5yeq9, you can then extract the card id, 5yeq9, and get its details.

@imit8me: why is there no card_uri parameter? The tweet is new, it was created this month.

Thank you.

[wangdao1]

@majoritasdev Thank you. It`s very useful. But i find to get image_id by promote_tweet_id will very hard. Need request api more than once. why we need media info, because we get insight by promote_tweet and we want to know the which image work well. Do you have good idea to do this?

[majoritasdev]

Hi @wangdao1! I hear you, but unfortunately, all those requests are necessary in order to get the promoted tweet’s media id.

[wangdao1]

@majoritasdev Thank you very much.

@wangdao1: You’re welcome!
