Answer 1

The Twitter API has been changed recently, to support new rules regarding the 280 characters limit.

1. To get the full text of the tweet, add parameter tweet_mode with value extended to your request parameters.
2. Field text in the JSON response has been replaced by full_text

Answer 2

The status in this example is a retweet, and the text for retweets will be truncated to 140 characters even after including tweet_mode=extended. The full text of the original tweet is in the retweeted_status field of the JSON response. Here's what you want:

let text = status["retweeted_status"]["full_text"].

Keep in mind that you should still include tweet_mode=extended in your request.
