To be able to fetch the videos direct URL, we need the
variantsfield and aVariantmodel.Right now, you can only get a twitter URL of the media, but not of the video resource as well. Crucial part to be able to play the video in your app.

That page is not fully up to date tho.
I joined a Twitter Chirp slack where I asked about fetching video/gif URL and got info that this is now possible (on the link it still says "Note that video URLs are not currently available, only static images.") 馃槄
Tested this in a playground here:
