Truncated Tweets

[connerlambden]

Hi, any way to set tweet_mode to extended so I can access non-truncated tweets? Thanks.

has there been any solution to this issue?

As a workaround, and following #34 , you can do this:

tso.arguments.update({'tweet_mode':'extended'})

and it will return an object that instead of a text key, has a full_text key, with the full text. I've tested it, and it works.
A PR should be fairly easy to implement, following said #34 .

Hi,

when setting tweet_mode to extended it indeed returns the full text tweets. However, it doesn't work with retweets. I have tried to set "retweet_mode" to "extended" as well, but it doesn't seem to work.

Any hint? Thanks!

I believe that is a limitation from the Twitter API. Retweets do not come with the original tweet's full text. I think, however, that you have an object inside the RT that is the original tweet. And you also get the tweet id of the original tweet, so you could query the original tweet and pass the extended parameter.

But for RTs, yes, you are right. Twitter API returns truncated text. As far as I know. Sorry about that.
