Tweets are limited to 140 characters

Hi,
Currently the fetched tweets are limited to 140 characters. see below:
"display_text_range":[0,140].
Is there any option to fetch all 280 chars.
Thanks

Can you paste a JSON object for a tweet you received -- or the tweet id of one you are having trouble with? You should find the full 280 characters of the tweet in the full_text property.

Thanks for the prompt response, Here is one tweet ID that I have problem with but there are many 1221739807711232000.
Thanks a lot

Thanks! This is some peculiar behavior from the Twitter API. When a retweeted tweet is > 140 characters the retweet has a shortened form. Take a look in retweeted_status.full_text for the original text. Do you see that?

Note I just created #26 to correct the generated CSV output to pull from the retweeted_status when it is a retweet.

Yes, got it thanks a lot, I don't know why i didn't notice that.

It's easy to miss.
