I have implemented the Twitter search api successfully, and am retrieving data in the exact way shown here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/search/api-reference/get-search-tweets
The issue is that for tweets which contain uploaded images, I'm not getting those image urls in my JSON data. I do see the media URLs for quoted or re-tweeted tweets, but never for the original tweet itself, which I find very strange.
There is no documentation about media related parameters in the API guide either, but I'm sure there is a way to retrieve images.
I am using the python-twitter module.
