Hi there,
We are building a report to download promoted tweet results via API.
During a QA session, validating the results got from API vs the results on the UI, we noticed that some of the Tweet Ids doesn’t match on API vs UI.
Is this related to tweets that are retweeted?.
F.E.:
Ad Account: 18ce5596ske
Tweet Id via API: 1509250732750368768
Tweet Id via UI: 1509239907717623809
We have found that these two ids has the same results, and are the same, even when they have a different Tweet Id.
I would like to know why this. Thank you in advance.
The Ads API is returning data for the Ads account and primary promotable user. - https://twitter.com/HPE/status/1509250732750368768. As this is a reTweet, this Tweet ID would be used within this ads account for this user.
The Ads Manager seems to display the original Tweet that is from another ‘promoted only’ user. That is, the current Ads Account has permission to promote Tweets for another account.
