Hello,
there is this tweet:
that displayed into twitter website seems to have an attached image.
But when I retrieve data from the REST API about this tweet I get the following JSON that instead of containing media/images entity entry for that image, it has an urls entity instead. And then, our code fails to recognise it has having an image attached because, our code doesn’t parse urls but it’s looking for media/images entries.
Why this is happening ?
