TLDR: diffrent responses for same api call, regarding same tweet objects
Hi, I’m experiencing unreliable responses from the API, for tweets and user timelines endpoints.
This one really makes me scratch my head and it’s the 3’rd day lost on the subject with trying to wrap my head around the issue. I need the answer to one simple question, how to get consistent results every time and why is this harder then it should be?
To replicate, i’m using this call in Postman:
https://api.twitter.com/2/users/1388385126652944384/tweets?max_results=5&until_id=1478724358642282506&expansions=attachments.media_keys&tweet.fields=attachments,author_id,created_at,entities,lang,referenced_tweets&media.fields=media_key,preview_image_url,url
