Truncated tweet content returned by Twitter URL Scraper?
Hi there, I'm trying Apify for the first time today. I've just run a test to see how it handles historical twitter scrapes, and it seems to work well except for one issue - the tweet content it returns is truncated at the ±140 character mark. Just wondering if there is any way to run this and get it to return the full text of tweets longer than 140 characters?
See the attached screenshot for a comparison between the data returned for a tweet by the Apify Twitter URL Scraper, and the same tweet displayed on twitter.com

Hmm, thanks for the feedback, passing it to the team. Could you also please share the run id?
So I got an update:
You can find the full_text inside the:
original_tweet.full_text, since this is a retweet, we collect the tweet that Ewen tweeted (which is the retweet itself) and the original tweet that Anthony tweeted (which is the original tweet).
Or you can use the option: collectOriginalTweetOnly: true to collect only the original tweet (by Anthony), this way he will have the full text directly.
