Yes, it is possible. If you are looking for animated GIFs, you need to look in the extended_entities
- here's an example:
"extended_entities": {
"media": [
{
"id": 626705406224658400,
"id_str": "626705406224658432",
"indices": [
29,
51
],
"media_url": "http://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video_thumb/CLKBPxzWcAAFhYz.png",
"media_url_https": "https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video_thumb/CLKBPxzWcAAFhYz.png",
"url": "http://t.co/psSAzQfcFu",
"display_url": "pic.twitter.com/psSAzQfcFu",
"expanded_url": "http://twitter.com/edent/status/626705407550078976/photo/1",
"type": "animated_gif",
See! It tells you that there is an aGIF. Later on, you'll see the URL to directly download it.
"sizes": {
"small": {
"w": 14,
"h": 14,
"resize": "fit"
},
"medium": {
"w": 14,
"h": 14,
"resize": "fit"
},
"thumb": {
"w": 14,
"h": 14,
"resize": "crop"
},
"large": {
"w": 14,
"h": 14,
"resize": "fit"
}
},
"video_info": {
"aspect_ratio": [
1,
1
],
"variants": [
{
"bitrate": 0,
"content_type": "video/mp4",
"url": "https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CLKBPxzWcAAFhYz.mp4"
}
]
}
}
]
},
Now, you can't download the GIF directly, but you can grab the video version of it.
If you want other imgage (JPG, PNG, etc) take a look for the "media_url_https"
field.
