The urls entity returns the url to the tweet itself, not url extracted from tweet text

[duongnhatduy]

Hi,

When fetching users_timeline, I try to extract the url in the tweet. However, the response I’m getting has the url pointing to the tweet itself.

Here is the tweet I’m trying to fetch. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/785799141310029824.
There is https://smarp.smh.re/3R6 in the tweet. However, the response I got in urls entity is https://twitter.com/i/web/status/785799141310029824

Here is the json response I got

You need to add the parameter tweet_mode=extended to all your urls that return Tweets

The key here is the truncated: true part of the response

[_rich]

Does it work for retweets - full length which includes their handle and the url?

[richardhyland]

Yes it works for all endpoints that return tweet objects

Thanks @richardhyland

Documentation on this is in the new extended Tweets page on dev.twitter.com (note that the replies changes described there have not yet been rolled out) - and this will be added across the endpoint documentation in future.

Thanks, this works for me
