    "urls":[],
    "user_mentions":[]
}

Nullable Perspectival Indicates whether this Tweet has been liked by the authenticating user. Example:

"in_reply_to_status_id":114749583439036416

Nullable If the represented Tweet is a reply, this field will contain the integer representation of the original Tweet’s author ID. This will not necessarily always be the user directly mentioned in the Tweet. Example:

"in_reply_to_user_id":819797

Nullable When present, indicates a BCP 47 language identifier corresponding to the machine-detected language of the Tweet text, or und if no language could be detected. Example:

"lang": "en"

Nullable This field only surfaces when a Tweet contains a link. The meaning of the field doesn’t pertain to the Tweet content itself, but instead it is an indicator that the URL contained in the Tweet may contain content or media identified as sensitive content. Example:

"possibly_sensitive":true

This field only surfaces when the Tweet is a quote Tweet. This is the string representation Tweet ID of the quoted Tweet. Example:

"quoted_status_id_str":"114749583439036416"

Perspectival Indicates whether this Tweet has been retweeted by the authenticating user. Example:

"retweeted":false

Utility used to post the Tweet, as an HTML-formatted string. Tweets from the Twitter website have a source value of web.

Example:

"source":"\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/twitter\/id409789998?mt=12\" \u003ETwitter for Mac\u003C\/a\u003E"

Indicates whether the value of the text parameter was truncated, for example, as a result of a retweet exceeding the 140 character Tweet length. Truncated text will end in ellipsis, like this ... Since Twitter now rejects long Tweets vs truncating them, the large majority of Tweets will have this set to false . Note that while native retweets may have their toplevel text property shortened, the original text will be available under the retweeted_status object and the truncated parameter will be set to the value of the original status (in most cases, false ). Example:

"truncated":true

When present and set to “true”, it indicates that this piece of content has been withheld due to a DMCA complaint . Example:

"withheld_copyright": true

When present, indicates whether the content being withheld is the “status” or a “user.”

Example:

"withheld_scope": "status"
