Tweet Object information different from documentation

[grgersh]

I am using this documentation to get the title of a summary card of a tweet:

https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/data-dictionary/overview/intro-to-tweet-json

I want to grab the info “"title": "Building the Future of the Twitter API Platform"”, but my tweet object output looks far different from this example. Here is the current output I am recieving:

{u'symbols': [], u'user_mentions': [], u'hashtags': [], u'urls': [{u'url': u'https://t.co/AWnWPU9LaD', u'indices': [51, 74], u'expanded_url': u'http://vogue.cm/dvWmSjY', u'display_url': u'vogue.cm/dvWmSjY'}]}

Here is my code:

username = "@voguemagazine"

theTimeline = api.user_timeline(screen_name = username, count = 1, tweet_mode='extended', include_rts = False, include_entities=True, exclude_replies=True)

for tweet in theTimeline:
	print(tweet.entities)

I am using the premium sandbox API, “search tweets: 30-days” feature. At least, I believe I am, but am not positive on how to convert from the standard API to the premium.

Your code is hitting a timeline endpoint, so you’re looking at a standard API. Those APIs do not include the URL enrichment with description field that you’re seeing in the documentation. Note that the enrichments are also not available in the premium sandbox.

Using my current method, if I buy the regular premium API or the enterprise API would that give me access to the URL enrichment with description field? Or since I am using the timeline endpoint would I only be able to access the card’s title through web crawling to the original site and scraping the contents of the twitter:title meta tag?

[andypiper]

The latter. Premium and enterprise do not have a timeline endpoint. You’d have to hit the premium search endpoints instead.
