can't get short_url_length within api.configuration()

[reagle]

Until today I've been able to truncate my long tweets into 280 characters by assuming URLs are shortened to length of 23. Today, that's not working, and I thought perhaps the short url length had changed. It's also, more likely, because I'm using an emoji (see #1538), but I wanted to check and I see recommendations to check the Twitter API configuration, but that doesn't work.

What there a way to get API configuration values? Where did it go?

API.configuration was removed in Tweepy v4.0.0, as the Twitter API endpoint that it used was retired (see #1614).

Instead, if you're using Twitter API v1.1, you can use the indices field of the corresponding URL object to determine the length of the URL in the text of the Tweet. If you have the Tweet object, you can retrieve its URL objects through the entities field and the urls field of that Entities object.
