Hi,

For example https://publish.twitter.com/?query=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FMichael86084836%2Fstatus%2F1798253963143528714&widget=Tweet

However the embed code includes the tweet text an is not drawing it from an api. Is there a way to make a widget using this code ?

Amazingly, it looks like there's no standard widget yet for displaying a tweet, er, X post. (I think that text is there just to display something before the tweet finishes loading, by the way - the API is being accessed.) You could create the widget yourself, potentially...

"I think that text is there just to display something before the tweet finishes loading, by the way - the API is being accessed."

Ah, really ? Right. I’ll go back to trying this again.

So actually consulting the X API using https://publish.twitter.com/oembed?url=https://twitter.com/Michael86084836/status/1798253963143528714 gives ...

Can I parse this, I think it’s JSON ? Does anyone know a widget example ?

Why parse it - why not just create a widget that displays the necessary HTML?

Sorry, having real problems getting started here. Can you give me a few clues as to what I need to look at ?

Could I filter that X response with something live "regex_replace:"#^(?!(https?:)?//).*#I":’'” ? That’s taken from the iFrame widget.

Sorry for the delay. Actually, there is a Tweet widget - and it seems to still work fine, even though it was pre-name change. Have you tried it?
