Features

• Expand urls in Twitter::Tweet#text (e.g. t.co url -> original url)
• Remove media urls in Twitter::Tweet#text
• Unescape special html characters in Twitter::Tweet#text (e.g. (> <) -> (> <))

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tweet_sanitizer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tweet_sanitizer

Usage

Case 1. Use TweetSanitizer::TwitterExtension and Twitter::Tweet#sanitized_text (Recommended)

using TweetSanitizer::TwitterExtension

extended_tweet = @client.status("https://twitter.com/github/status/866677968608927744", tweet_mode: "extended")
extended_tweet.sanitized_text

Case 2. Use TweetSanitizer.sanitize

extended_tweet = @client.status("https://twitter.com/github/status/866677968608927744", tweet_mode: "extended")
TweetSanitizer.sanitize(extended_tweet)

:warning: Note

When you get Twitter::Tweet instance, pass tweet_mode: "extended" option to methods. (e.g. Twitter::REST::Client#status, Twitter::REST::Client#search)

Because full_text attribute is returned when only tweet_mode=extended is passed to Twitter API
