okay so twitter’s api is like extra fucked bc it like handles gifs and videos differently on the backend? like. for gifs it’ll just have the link to the converted MP4 just in the json, but for actual Videos it’s just! not there.
haha! pain!
and the stackoverflow post I found that was like “oh try this” didn’t work. lmao.
god twitter fucking SUCKS
@compufox yt-dlp knows how to find the video somehow so you could maybe try seeing whatever likely curséd hackery they get up to
@aescling oh, neat. Thanks for the heads up
@aescling I wasn’t requesting the correct fields in my request.
I had to add like one field and it’s like “oh here’s the stuff u wanted”
I hate their docs so much
