TwitterShots v2.6.1 Release Notes — Mar 24, 2026
Summary
TwitterShots v2.6.1 adds API timezone control for tweet timestamps and updates the returnType parameter for screenshot responses. Format screenshots with a fixed UTC offset and choose between URL or buffer response formats.
API: timeZoneOffset Parameter
Optional API parameter to format tweet timestamps with a fixed UTC offset — for example UTC+8 or UTC-5 — so screenshots match your audience's local time.
API: returnType Parameter Updates
The returnType parameter now clearly specifies screenshot response format. Use url for a JSON image URL or buffer to receive image bytes directly. We recommend buffer and self-hosted storage going forward.
- url — returns a JSON object with the image URL
- buffer — returns image bytes (recommended for production)
- URL storage on our CDN will be phased out over time
