Don't know if Twitter will get round to fixing this, but this is the user entity data for someone who turned their check off - can_highlight_tweets
is still true
yeah seems like there's a few things we can check to see if they're blue users, another notable key would be is_edit_eligible
within edit_control
. hopefully something is a reliable indicator of blue status
does anyone have any good examples of a known blue user that has disabled their checkmark?
This guy made this long post, so he's definitely blue, and he has the checkmark turned off: https://twitter.com/Baconfromhell/status/1686704275660181505
beautiful, thank you, I'll look into this when I can, definitely a prio
Hi, ran across this and I think I've got some more data points for you; the OP of https://twitter.com/unpuppable/status/1690101699698999296 has been hiding blue checks, and apparently hidden ones still showed up under verified notifications (https://twitter.com/unpuppable/status/1690333377142943746), so the hidden replies on there have a mix of open blues and hidden blues.
I also had a poke around on the network tab for the user page, and it looks like the UserByScreenName request still gets the "verification_info" field, even with a hidden check (from https://twitter.com/knowmiun):
It doesn't look like this appears in all "User" object responses, but it might be a useful indicator when it does.

that's good to know. unfortunately this info doesn't appear in tweet responses, if I remember correctly. but a good field to double check with during implementation
a twitter update has enabled a new option for blue subs to hide their checkmark. Is there any way to update the extension to detect blue subs that hide the check?
Note that this feature is going to be going away again: https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/11/24127906/x-premium-users-can-no-longer-hide-their-blue-checks
Well that certainly makes our work easier!

I think that this got rolled out? I'm seeing a lot of people who did not have checkmarks suddenly having checkmarks again.
It did get rolled out, but also note that anyone with 2500 Twitter Blue followers automatically gets the blue check for free now, even if they didn't want it. A lot of people you're seeing with a check are because of that as well.

That's the thing that's tracked in #241 isn't it?

Yep, I believe so
I'm going to go ahead and close this issue as completed since blue users can no longer hide their checkmarks.
