4 years ago Hi,
tl;dr Set the TweetMode property of the TwitterService object to TweetMode.Extended.
So this is weird, I've not seen this before. This is a '280' character, or 'extended' tweet. For some reason, if you request this tweet without 'extended' support enabled then instead of returning the media information like it should, it removes that detail and places a Twitter wrapped link (t.co link) to the tweet itself.
If you look at the json below, which is returned when extended tweets aren't enabled, you can see that 'truncated' is true indicating the tweet is oversized, the media data is missing, and the url detail has been added.

}However, if you enable extended tweet support by setting the TweetMode property on the TwitterService instance before requesting the tweet, like this:
service.TweetMode = TweetMode.Extended;Then when you request the tweet you get the full tweet object data as expected:

4 years ago Closing as no response and I assume the solution posted works (does for me).
Before October 5, this library was working great for my needs (scraping a twitter account, grabbing the most recent non-retweeted picture and posting it on discord) - However, something broke on the 5th. Now whenever it pulls up tweets on that date or after, it says there are no Media Entities in it, even though there is a photo. Here's two tweets as an example:
https://twitter.com/PopTartADay/status/1180190327266787329 and https://twitter.com/PopTartADay/status/1180575606280462336
For both of these tweets, the same code (it hasn't been modified in months) no longer detects any Media Entities:
https://gfycat.com/AllSparseHorseshoecrab
I did notice both of these tweets have "media tags" under the picture. Could this be why? I don't really use twitter.
Thanks, and keep up the awesome work \ o /
