Return Twitter Tweet Source
Return from what Twitter client a tweet was published
Return Twitter Tweet Source - Edge Add-on
Return Twitter Tweet Source is an Edge add-on that allows you to uncover the Twitter client from which a tweet was published. Despite Twitter removing this feature, the add-on utilizes the Twitter API to retrieve the information. Please note that protected tweets and Twitter circle tweets cannot be accessed due to API restrictions.

Add-on summary
Recently Twitter removed from what client a tweet was published from (e.g. "Twitter for Android"), a.k.a source. I noticed it's still there in the Twitter API, so I had the idea to make this addon.
Bugs:
- Cannot get protected tweets and Twitter circle tweets status due to the Twitter API (returns a 403 HTTP status)
