Extended Tweets

[fffaraz]

Is there a way to get the full text of tweets that contain more than 140 characters by setting tweet_mode=extended as explained here?

+1 on this. Curious myself how to set tweet_mode=extended in phirehose

This is really useful. And I think it should be implemented.
I wonder if this library is still maintained

I understand that Stream API default behaviour is to send extend_tweet field, which contains the full tweet.

I'm using an old version of Phirehose and I can confirm that I'm receiving tweets with this field.

2018 and i'm still wondering how to set tweet_mode=extended in phirehose... any ideas? (even if it needs a tweak in the code)

There's no need to set extended mode on the streaming API. The streaming API delivers Tweets that contain the extended text. Per the documentation:

• Includes new extended_tweet field in payload, containing:
  • full_text
  • display_text_range
  • entities
  • extended_entities
