I suspect there is a migration happening over at Twitter, all URLs seem to redirect to x.com.
But I also see a form like this as the final destination of the redirects, not sure what that is about.

I put some debug code somewhere to see the response body.

If I submit the form I just end up at x.com...

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
    <title>x.com</title>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url = https://twitter.com?mx=1" />
</head>
<form action="https://x.com/x/migrate" method="post" name="f">
    <input type="hidden" name="tok"
        value="[SEEMS LIKE A JWT TOKEN]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="data"
        value="[SOME LONG DATA]" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"
    nonce="[NONCE]">document.forms.f.submit()</script>
</body>

</html>

Posting here in case others find the same issue, maybe we figure it out or maybe it again changes along the way.

Maybe the oembed API can be utilized?

It's already using it.

Ah of course. Sorry I didn't do much digging yet.

But still, the data collecting fails, I think because first there is an attempt to load the actual url, and only after that the oembed is fetched.
