No preview is loaded for a link to a tweet on Twitter

[smaljaar]

Using: SwiftLinkPreview 3.3.0 Xcode 12.4

Example: If you provide https://twitter.com/joshdholtz/status/1359219485543182337?s=20 as text to SwiftLinkPreview's preview(text:onSuccess:onFailure) method it responds in the success block with

Response(url: Optional(https://twitter.com/joshdholtz/status/1359219485543182337?s=20), finalUrl: Optional(https://twitter.com/joshdholtz/status/1359219485543182337?s=20), canonicalUrl: Optional("twitter.com"), title: nil, description: Optional("We’ve detected that JavaScript is disabled in this browser. Please enable JavaScript or switch to a supported browser to continue using twitter.com. You can see a list of supported browsers in our Help Center."), images: Optional(["https://abs.twimg.com/errors/logo46x38.png"]), image: Optional("https://abs.twimg.com/errors/logo46x38.png"), icon: Optional("https://abs.twimg.com/responsive-web/client-web-legacy/icon-ios.b1fc7275.png"), video: nil, price: nil)

The title is nil, and the images are generic Twitter icons not related to the Tweet.

Tested with some random Twitter link, the same error message of javascript is coming

Anyone have a workaround for this? Would love to be able to embed tweets

I actually figured a workaround using nitter.net (this site mirrors twitter.com and is non-javascript friendly). If I detect twitter.com, I swap out the domain to nitter.com for the unfurling, and then I switch it back before sending the data along:

if url.contains("/status/") && url.contains("twitter.com") {
  url = String(url).replacingOccurrences(of: "twitter.com", with: "nitter.net")
}

Just tested the twitter link using the patch I submitted in https://github.com/LeonardoCardoso/SwiftLinkPreview/pull/155 and it works.

Looks like the user agent might be the root issue of multiple issues.
