tweet_mode=extended for statuses_lookup

[vchrisb]

I used statuses_lookup to get specific tweets.
But with a recent change of Twitter to have also extended tweets does the REST API only return a compacted version for these tweets.

The Twitter API now supports a parameter tweet_mode=extended to return not only the compacted version but also the extended one.

#785 does reference that it is currently not possible to use this parameter with statuses_lookup

What needs to be changed to add tweet_mode=extended support to statuses_lookup?

I've submitted a PR to resolve this: #926 - not sure who's maintaining this repo, but hope the change gets accepted soon!

please let this be fixed <3
I have a large batch of tweets to pull which i assume.
statuses_lookup takes some time but if extended mode isn't ready i'd have to change my code and get it done one at a time via: api.get_status(798508477572222976,tweet_mode='extended') which is painstakingly slow

I think @Aaron1011 is maintaining but don't know.

I also have this problem. Is there any chance of an update on this?

[shaharyar2643]

I'm also having the same problem. Is there a way around to have extended mode in api.statuses_lookcup

Until this PR is reviewed/approved if you need to use @walmsley 's branch you can install it in your project with: pip install git+https://github.com/walmsley/tweepy.git@patch-1 (kudos @walmsley for the work, it saved me a lot of time today)

[lwahedi]

@walmsley 's branch doesn't install with the latest pip. I just created a pull request to change the setup.py file so that it should work, as per here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25192794/no-module-named-pip-req

In the meantime, if you have pip 10 you can download his fix at
`pip install git+https://github.com/lwahedi/tweepy.git@master

Is there anything more to getting this fix than running that line of code, @lwahedi? I ran it, but the tweet_mode param is not yet visible...

[lwahedi]

@jalperin In the terminal/Bash, first pip uninstall tweepy, then run the above in terminal. Otherwise you'll have two tweepy installs and the original will probably get imported instead when you try to use it.

Hi, I tried to install this package using what I understood of the guidance from @lwahedi . I uninstalled tweepy and entered in terminal:
pip install git+https://github.com/lwahedi/tweepy.git@master
But this gets me an error.
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun
at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
Command "git clone -q https://github.com/lwahedi/tweepy.git
/private/var/folders/dv/qc9vyx051kbcfy7f8zszfz8c0000gn/T/pip-req-build-_mdbezem" failed with
error code 1 in None
Has the link for that package changed?

[mjs2020]

@jason-lange looks like a problem on your setup, perhaps this?

[jason-lange]

@mjs2020 that did it. Many thanks!

This should now be resolved in 3.7.0 with c997ee7 (#926).

[francis-de-ladu]

The doc is not up to date about this issue, even if it's fixed; the tweet_mode attribute is not listed as a valid argument.

http://docs.tweepy.org/en/v3.8.0/api.html#timeline-methods

[Harmon758]

Tweepy documentation for API methods does not include tweet_mode as an attribute for each applicable method.
Instead, there is a designated section covering extended Tweets.
This is correspondent with how Twitter's own API documentation handles documentation for the attribute, as otherwise, there would be a multitude of methods with the same repeated documentation of the attribute.
