#oembed(tweet, options = {}) ⇒ Twitter::OEmbed

Returns oEmbed for a Tweet

Parameters:

  • tweet (Integer, String, URI, Twitter::Tweet) —

    A Tweet ID, URI, or object.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    A customizable set of options.

Options Hash (options):

  • :maxwidth (Integer) —

    The maximum width in pixels that the embed should be rendered at. This value is constrained to be between 250 and 550 pixels.

  • :hide_media (Boolean, String, Integer) —

    Specifies whether the embedded Tweet should automatically expand images which were uploaded via POST statuses/update_with_media. When set to either true, t or 1 images will not be expanded. Defaults to false.

  • :hide_thread (Boolean, String, Integer) —

    Specifies whether the embedded Tweet should automatically show the original message in the case that the embedded Tweet is a reply. When set to either true, t or 1 the original Tweet will not be shown. Defaults to false.

  • :omit_script (Boolean, String, Integer) —

    Specifies whether the embedded Tweet HTML should include a <script> element pointing to widgets.js. In cases where a page already includes widgets.js, setting this value to true will prevent a redundant script element from being included. When set to either true, t or 1 the <script> element will not be included in the embed HTML, meaning that pages must include a reference to widgets.js manually. Defaults to false.

  • :align (String) —

    Specifies whether the embedded Tweet should be left aligned, right aligned, or centered in the page. Valid values are left, right, center, and none. Defaults to none, meaning no alignment styles are specified for the Tweet.

    A value for the TWT related parameter, as described in Web Intents. This value will be forwarded to all Web Intents calls.

  • :lang (String) —

    Language code for the rendered embed. This will affect the text and localization of the rendered HTML.

  • :widget_type (String) —

    Set to video to return a Twitter Video embed for the given Tweet.

  • :hide_tweet (Boolean, String) —

    Applies to video type only. Set to 1 or true to link directly to the Tweet URL instead of displaying a Tweet overlay when a viewer clicks on the Twitter bird logo.
