Valid tweet URLs with long User Ids are not supported

Closed

For a run using Tweet URL, I have provided URL with this format

https://twitter.com/<user-id>/status/<tweet-id>

However, some user Ids are 18 characters long, which doesn't seem to be supported.

Here is an example of error message in the logs (I have replaced the exact ids with placeholders):

2023-11-18T12:23:18.790Z WARN  Url https://twitter.com/<author-url (18 char)>/status/<tweet url> didn't match any supported type. You can provide search, events and profile urls

Just copy-pasting the URL in a browser shows that the URL does indeed link to a valid tweet, so it should be accepted by the Actor.

Would it be possible to modify the validator rule to allow those (valid) URLs?

Hello, happy to let you know that the issue with long user ids has been fixed. However, in the meantime, Twitter has moved more of its data behind login, which comes with limitations in terms of the number of results scraped.
