Poll
A poll included in a Tweet is not a primary object on any endpoint, but can be found and expanded in the Tweet object.
The object is available for expansion with ?expansions=attachments.poll_ids to get the condensed object with only default fields. Use the expansion with the field parameter: poll.fields when requesting additional fields to complete the object.
| Field value | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id (default) |
string |
Unique identifier of the expanded poll.
|
options (default) |
array |
Contains objects describing each choice in the referenced poll.
|
duration_minutes |
integer |
Specifies the total duration of this poll.
|
end_datetime |
date (ISO 8601) |
Specifies the end date and time for this poll.
|
voting_status |
string |
Indicates if this poll is still active and can receive votes, or if the voting is now closed.

Retrieving a poll object
Sample Request
