as the title says can you download pictures as jpg or similar that people post on twitter?

Hi @jamiefinney

Yes, it is pretty easy - once TweetSearcher returns the JSON in _tweet_search_result attribute, you can create a new attibute (for example, _image_url) with JSONExtractor with the following syntax:

json["entities"]["media"]

  • ["media_url_https"]

    After this transformer, use ImageFetcher with _image_url, it will return the image.

    If you also would like to get aTwitter profile image, use json["user"]["profile_image_url_https"].

    I used this technique for our FMECoin contest - see the article here:
