Tweet mode

Tweet Mode (Website & WebSocket)

Choose how tweets are received either on the Website or WebSocket:

  • All: Receive all tweets. For tweets that have truncated and extended versions, the truncated version is received first, followed by the extended version about 250 ms later.

  • Truncated: Receive only original and shortened tweets. Replies are included, but not the text of the tweet being replied to.

  • Extended: Receive only original and full tweets.

⚠️ Extended tweets may take about 250 ms longer to be received than truncated ones.
