Twitter post id missing

Error message

Twitter post id missing

What it means

createPost submits a tweet via POST /2/tweets through a wrapped client call, then reads response.data?.id. If the platform response lacks a string id, TwitterPlatformException('Twitter post id missing') is thrown because the library cannot return a valid postId/permalink.

Solutions

1. Log the full raw response of POST /2/tweets when id is missing to see platform errors
2. Check for twitter ApiResponseError handling in the client wrapper (raise non-2xx as platform errors)
3. Verify twitter-api-v2 client version matches the expected response shape (data.id)
4. Retry createPost only after confirming the tweet was not actually created (check for duplicates)

Example fix

// before
const postId = response.data?.id
if (typeof postId !== 'string') {
  throw new TwitterPlatformException('Twitter post id missing')
}
// after
const postId = response.data?.id
if (typeof postId !== 'string') {
  this.logger.error(`POST /2/tweets missing id, raw=${JSON.stringify(response)}`)
  throw new TwitterPlatformException('Twitter post id missing')
}

const body = { text: content.slice(0, 280) }
if (!body.text) throw new Error('tweet text required before createPost')

function hasPostId(r: unknown): r is { data: { id: string } } {
  return !!r && typeof r === 'object' && typeof (r as any).data?.id === 'string'
}

try {
  const res = await twitterService.createPost(params)
} catch (e) {
  if (String(e?.message).includes('post id missing')) {
    logger.error('tweet created but id missing; verify manually before retrying', { params })
  }
  throw e
}

When it happens

Trigger: POST /2/tweets returns 200 with an unexpected/empty body, the response wrapper nests the tweet under a different key, or the request actually failed silently (e.g. duplicate tweet, rate limit) while the wrapper still resolves.

Common situations: Duplicate content rejected silently by Twitter, Twitter API version change altering response shape, client wrapper swallowing errors and returning empty data.
