Hello,
I have been running into issues with GET user_timeline and not getting the actual URL to the tweet but instead the link provided or image inside the tweet itself? Is there a different way to get this?
To make sure you’re getting the entire tweet payload with all the media or attachments, make sure you have tweet_mode=extended set in the request.
If you need a link to the tweet itself, the actual permalink to a tweet is not directly included in the json but can be constructed from:
https://twitter.com/[user.screen_name]/status/[id_str]
(infact, even a _ will still work, as long as the tweet ID is correct.)

In the interim that is what I have been doing is grabbing that URL status but would love a shorter like t.co url. Let me test it with extended added.
Extended mode doesn’t appear to include the URL when you include a link with no media.

The URL to the tweet itself is not included in the API response. As IgorBrigadir mentioned, you have to construct it yourself.
