Input
Canonical x.com or twitter.com status URL with a numeric tweet ID, including /i/web/status and media-share variants.
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `videoUrl` or `width`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a tweet that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge.
