twitter-url

A very crude way to get the internal twitter video url

let  {parseUrl, getDetailsConcise} = require("twitter-url");
let {id} = parseUrl("https://twitter.com/LetMeThinkOfAU1/status/1334241608078790659");
let  details = getDetailsConcise(id);

console.log(details.highest_video_url); //https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1334241558246252544/pu/vid/1280x720/XnFplcd-MwKi4HFw.mp4?tag=10

API
parseUrl Returns the video id and user as an object
{id: video_id, user: user}
getDetails Returns the entire response fetched by the twitter API
getDetailsConcise Returns a stripped down result with the important details

getDetails returns 

{
  globalObjects: {
    tweets: { '0000000000000000000': [Object] },
    users: { '0000000000000000000': [Object] },
    moments: {},
    cards: {},
    places: {},
    media: {},
    broadcasts: {},
    topics: {},
    lists: {}
  },
  timeline: {
    id: 'Conversation-0000000000000000000',
    instructions: [ [Object], [Object] ],
    responseObjects: { feedbackActions: {} }
  }
}

getDetailsConcise returns

{
  videos: {
    aspect_ratio: [ 16, 9 ],
    duration_millis: 29733,
    variants: [ [Object], [Object], [Object], [Object] ]
