No media when retreiving a list of tweets

I am trying to get a tweets from a list with its media but apparently, the media_field is not present and gives the error:

x = client.get_list_tweets(4343, expansions=["attachments.media_keys", "author_id"], 
                             tweet_fields = ['created_at', 'text', 'id', 'attachments', 'author_id', 'entities'], 
                           media_fields=['preview_image_url', 'url'])

and here is the error The query parameter [media_fields] is not one of [id,max_results,pagination_token,expansions,tweet.fields,media.fields,poll.fields,place.fields,user.fields]

Any help?

Thanks for the bug report. This should be fixed now.

This was due to the Twitter API documentation for the endpoint this method uses not listing media.fields, place.fields, or poll.fields as parameters, which got translated into Tweepy not supporting them as parameters.

Moreover, twitter API (https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/lists/list-tweets/api-reference/get-lists-id-tweets) indicates that the media.fields argument is available.

@phisanti I don’t see that on that page, and place.fields and poll.fields are actually missing as well.

@spirale21 Client.get_list_tweets returns a Response object, which doesn’t have a media attribute.

If you look at the twitter api v2 documentation, the media url is retrieved by including expansions=attachments.media_keys&media.fields in the http request.

@calvinh99 @phisanti Yes, the request URL ends up with media.fields as a URL parameter key, but it requires a value as well and you need to pass the parameter individually through Tweepy, not as part of a different parameter.

@R2sh2 That’s not related to this issue. Client.get_users_tweets supports media.fields. Feel free to start a new discussion if you need help with using the parameter, but you’ll need to provide more information, like your code and expected and actual behavior.
