## Install
npm install flatten-twitterv2``
npm install flatten-twitterv2 It uses optional chaining so Node version 14+ is required or you might be able to use on an older version with some finagling.
`js
import { flatten } from 'flatten-twitterv2'
async function() {
const response = await fetch('https://api.twitter.com/2/...', {...}));
const json = await response.json();
const flattened = flatten(json);
}
`
Twitter's v2 API has an includes object when you add expansions. This is a function to inline your expansions so that it's easier to work with the resulting data.
If you're searching for tweets for example, this is what it looks like:
Before
`json`
{
"data": [
{
"id": "21",
"text": "just setting up my twttr",
"author_id": "12"
}
],
"includes": {
"users": [
{
"id": "123",
"username": "jack",
"created_at": "2006-03-21T20:50:14.000Z"
}
]
}
}
After
`json``
{
"data": [
{
"id": "21",
"text": "just setting up my twttr",
"author_id": "12",
"author": {
"id": "12",
"username": "jack",
"created_at": "2006-03-21T20:50:14.000Z",
}
}
]
}
