Greasy Fork

seems like the tweetdetail api is gone after checking the error messages in console, could mean total death of this Userscript which is sad.
Downloaded more than 1700 media files with it.
o7 R.I.P.

Does this API problem mean that even the author can’t fix it?

It still exists. But looks like the url and/or parameters changed a bit.

I've tried to edit the script to have the exact same parameters as the valid query the front end does when navigating to a Tweet, but no success, the requests gets bounced. It's not exactly my area of expertise but if anyone wants to finish or know what's missing, here it is: Starting from the fetchJson function:

        fetchJson: async function (status_id) {

yea i went a bit on a search and totally forgot that gallery-dl also used the same old entry
it requires a transaction-id now but instead of using it right now they're using another work around with something called "restid"
link to github issue > https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues/7382 <
im not smarty pants with that stuff, so even the 10min of me trying to figure it out i gave up lmao

Has anyone been able to crack down a hotfix?

Flkalas the one who made "TwitterMediaAssist" said this about his extension on GibHub. Should a workaround exist, hopefully it can fix this one too.
