How to manipulate long list of URLs and extract just one?

Hi

I’m trying to setup a Zap that automatically natively crossposts videos posted from Twitter to Facebook. The only direct MP4 url I can find from Twitter is called ‘Extended Entities Media Video Info Variants URL’. The only problem being with this that it is all the video res URLs molded into one.

Is there a way to extract just the highest res video link from this? So the 1080x1350 

Thanks.

Hi @fabianharrison,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

You can use the Text in Formatter by Zapier - Split Text function and use “,” as your separator and choose All (as Separate Fields) in the “Segment Index” drop down. Here’s what it’ll look like:

Then it will separate the resolution that you we’re looking for:

Hopefully, this helps! 😊
