title: Get video from tweet using Twitter API
body: <p>I am trying to use the Twitter API to import a video from a given tweet.  However, when I use the <code>statuses/show</code> endpoint, it doesn't return any extended entity for the video as it would an image, but instead returns a url entity linking to some video container embed with a video player containing an obscure link to the video.</p>
  
  <p>Here is an example:</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to import the tweet at <code>https://twitter.com/NHL/status/633987786018717696</code></p>
  
  <p>Using the Twitter API's <code>statuses/show</code> endpoint and the tweet id, I get this response:</p>

  <p>Upon following the URL, the source of the video tag is <code>https://amp.twimg.com/amplify-web-player/prod/source.html?vmap_url=https%3A%2F%2Famp.twimg.com%2Fprod%2Fmultibr_v_1%2Fvmap%2F2015%2F08%2F20%2F13%2F609fc2af-1d06-4894-80be-1c231f97557a%2Fa69baa90-58de-4d1d-b2dc-2c3ef1ab9b35.vmap&amp;duration=91.958&amp;image_src=https%3A%2F%2Famp.twimg.com%2Fprod%2Fdefault%2F2015%2F08%2F20%2F13%2Fe8f0b317-ba48-4cec-bf2c-da4598e2b46b_poster-67227.jpg&amp;content_id=609fc2af-1d06-4894-80be-1c231f97557a&amp;page=amplify_card</code></p>
  
  <p>How do I extract this video file from the tweet if they do not supply an external_entity for it?</p>
