New tweet entities data #142

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What would you like dabr to do?

It seems that the tweet data is/can now/will soon include an entities 
collection that contains an array of all URLs (including the expanded URL), 
mentions, and hashtags - along with the start/stop index in the tweet to 
replace with whatever links developers want. This would certainly make it 
easier to and standardize even more the method for linkifying (nice word, eh?) 
the tweet text

How would you prefer dabr to do it?

Curious to see what you guys think of it. In running a few tests, it seems like 
everything but the expanded URL is working.

It also reduces dependency on external text processing libraries.  And means 
that links and hashtags work to the "official" standard.  I'm in favour of it.

Have started work with entities, at the moment expanding short urls, checking 
for media, display thumbnails and then returning the links back. Ideal for 
displaying twitpics sent by Twitter for iPhone users which now insists on using 
t.co links for everything. Plan to add the code shortly.

At the moment, we're using the Autolink and Extractor libraries which - 
supposedly - Twitter use to generate the entities.

Have added the expanding short urls which allows for the thumbnails to be 
spotted in t.co, however won't be using entities for @ # http as like Terence 
says the code already does this. We also use the libraries to find links inside 
other bits like profiles, which wouldn't work with entities.
