just put the url to the server, and directly after, the full URL to the tweet you want to embed
I have a version running on my computer, I don't promise it'll be up all the time, but for now, you can use it by using the url
**I now have a copy of this running on a Linode server, you can use it via the following url**
`http://twtfx.me/<twitter url>`
**Note**: If you enjoy this service, please considering donating via [Ko-Fi](https://ko-fi.com/robin_universe) to help cover server costs
## How to run (server side)
this script uses the youtube-dl python module, along with flask, so install those with pip (you can use `pip install -r requirements.txt`) and start the server with `python twitfix.py` ( will need sudo if you leave it at port 80 )

## Other stuff
Using the `/info/<video-url>` endpoint will return a json that contains all video info that youtube-dl can grab about any given video
Using `/other/<video-url>` will attempt to run the twitter embed stuff on other websites videos - This is mostly experimental and doesn't really work for now
