Statuses/show doesn't return video content in entities neither extended_entities

[cdecaux]

Hi there,

I just found some tweets that do have some video that I can see on twitter.com but when I look for statuses/show.json with its ID, I cannot find any reference to the video.

Here’s a few ID’s which you can test :
666575103908515840
666585575542026240

I’m really curious to any suggestion

Thanks in advance

Christophe

Are yout using tweet_mode=extended on the API call?

[khalid_bhyan]

yes @andypiper I do

@andypiper
this is the tweet url that i’m trying to fetch: https://twitter.com/Moh_d_alkhaldi/status/854316996930002945

and here is my Android code :
(I have my AccessToken abject that contains all correct AccessToken data of the user, also I called Twitter.initialize() in my MainActivity onCreate())

TwitterAuthToken token = new TwitterAuthToken (accessToken.getToken(), accessToken.getTokenSecret());
TwitterSession session = new TwitterSession(token, accessToken.getUserId(), accessToken.getScreenName());
TwitterApiClient client = TwitterCore.getInstance().getApiClient(session);
StatusesService statusesService = client.getStatusesService();
Call<Tweet> tweetCall = statusesService.show(Long.parseLong(params[0]), false, false, true);
Response<Tweet> response = tweetCall.execute();
TweetEntities entities = response.body().extendedEntities;
List<UrlEntity> urls = entities.urls;

I get NullPointerException in this line
List<UrlEntity> urls = entities.urls;
which means that entities is null

is there any error in my code?
thank you for your reply

Using twurl, I took at look at that Tweet and it does not contain an extended_entities structure, just entities. Try changing

TweetEntities entities = response.body().extendedEntities;

to

TweetEntities entities = response.body().entities;

The media in 666575103908515840 and 666585575542026240 is an amplify video which we don’t support in Twitter Kit and will display as a url.

Looking at twurl results there are extended_entities for Tweet with ID 854316996930002945 but there are no urls.

$> twurl "/1.1/statuses/lookup.json?tweet_mode=extended&id=854316996930002945" | python -m json.tool
