Hi guys,

Any idea why on computers the tweeted image (via a media id) started showing as a color block (a couple days back) but on iOS it’s showing fine.

Please see attached.

The exact process is: I’m doing a v2 api post to the tweets endpoint. The body of the message contains: text, and “media”: {“media_ids”: [“xxxxxx”]} where the xxxxxx was obtained by looking up the media_id of an image in a previous post of mine.

The interesting thing is it was working fine at first for the first 3 or 4 tweets or so. And it’s still working in iOS (that is, the image is being shown instead of a color block representation of the average image color – which is how it seems to be obtaining the color). That is, I don’t think that the image isn’t being found, it’s just not being showed.

Any ideas? Any other recommended mechanisms to show an image in all my api tweets?

Hi, is there anything special one must do to get some help here?

Tried on another post, no dice.

No other help channels exist. The one that does exist, nobody responds in.

Does it work if you upload the same image again every time you tweet?

I’m not uploading. Just referencing media_id of a previous (regular) post made by our account.

I can’t upload because v2 doesn’t have upload and I don’t have access to v1.1 with my account.
