Trying to search tweet by tweet ID

[MsVoxxie]

Is this a current possibility? Or is there some other method? There is no current documentation on TweetFilter that I can find.

Look into tweet.details method.

Usage example:

const { Rettiwt } = require('rettiwt-api');

// Creating a new Rettiwt instance using the API_KEY
const rettiwt = new Rettiwt(API_KEY);

// Fetching the details of the tweet with the given <id>
rettiwt.tweet.details('<id>')
.then(details => {
    ...
})
.catch(error => {
    ...
});

Oh I completely missed this, I apologise! Thank you so much

I apologise again, one second question. Is it a limitation of the method which this package is using to obtain the video url of a tweet? Or is it possible to get the video / media of a tweet?

[Rishikant181]

The video/media URL can be obtained from the entities.media field of the returned tweet. The media can then be downloaded using a separate HTTP request to the received URL.

Since this API uses reverse engineered API endpoints of the Twitter client applications, this is the way by which media contents are received.

TL;DR The returned tweet contains the URL to the media and not the full media file.

I see, Though when testing tweet ID's of tweets with videos the media tab returns jpg's or png's and never a video to be requested

Sorry I understood your question wrong :P.

And

Is it a limitation of the method which this package is using to obtain the video url of a tweet?

Yes, it's a limitation as of now (probably because dumb me just totally forgot about videos inside tweets).

I'm opening up a separate issue and will try to implement it in the next feature update. Thanks for the feedback!

[MsVoxxie]

Oh awesome, I'd absolutely love video endpoints being reachable. Thanks so much :)
