Retweets cut off even while using extended tweet mode

[harshbhatt]

Mainly want to know if I'm doing something wrong if this is expected behavior. Any retweet appears to be cut off with ... at the end. However, on the person's timeline the full (re)tweet appears. Is there any way to extract it?

I've attached a sample generated CSV file, and here is the command I used:
twarc --app_auth --format csv --tweet_mode extended --output w01_2020-01-26_TEST.csv

w01_2020-01-26_TEST.csv.zip

@harshbhatt thanks for reporting this. Can you include the actual command you used? The one you supplied is not complete.

@harshbhatt thanks again for reporting this. After reviewing the Twitter documentation about Extended Tweets it appears our logic for extracting the text of the tweet was not correct because it wasn't getting the text from the enclosed tweet:

Again, when parsing Retweets, it is key to parse the "retweeted_status" object for complete (original) Tweet message and entity metadata.

This has been updated in v1.8.4 which was just released. Could you upgrade and give it a try, and reopen this ticket if you continue to have questions?

pip install --upgrade twarc

Verified, works now. Thanks for this great tool and for closing out this issue!
