Need to obtain Video SRC URL for embedded video in Twitter post

Tip: Easy way to find all links on a page is to run Firefox + View Media Links + sort by type...

Then scroll through till you find the link you're looking for.

What is the purpose of this, could you elaborate?

My client runs the production company that shot this video, and I was asked if there was a way we could link to the remotely hosted video file directly --- instead of downloading it ---  (since the latter would likely be a copyright violation).  I just want to know if the answer is a flat out "NO" before I respond to my client's inquiry, .. which I presume is, .. unless you know otherwise.

Have you tried to just embed the video on a page something like this

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Some thoughts on Liam Neeson. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BetweenTheScenes?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BetweenTheScenes</a> <a href="https://t.co/V88BWbdYfV">pic.twitter.com/V88BWbdYfV</a></p>&mdash; The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow/status/1094005279467933698?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 8, 2019</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Select allOpen in new window

To get the code just click on the right arrow and select Embed Tweet and check the box Include media.

That embeds the entire tweet ... we only want the video clip.

Another way will be to find out if the same video maybe elsewhere on youtube / facebook / instagram ect
so it could be easier to embed

Note they do offer embed video from their website ...
I cannot test it because of my location

Already tried. We even tried uploading it to our own YouTube channel, and it got flagged as copyrighted and promptly deleted.

So I guess the answer it NO then.  Oh well ... as I suspected.

Thanks guys!

No I was thinking just embed the video on your page if allowed..

Some years ago I had a roxio internet radio. It was able to play media streams, but you needed to find out the stream-url. For that I used a sniffer-tool.

Not sure if it works for Twitter, but you might give it a shot.
