The API does not return a value for a tweet's original URL

[Dan King]

The API returns blank values for tweets original URL

The attached example shows a tweet from user @Chapter5band. The orginal_url of the tweet is
https://twitter.com/Chapter5band/status/351777499279142916 but shows up blank in the response from the API

Note: The search request can be used to construct the original URL using the $source['username'] and $original_id values.

i.e.
$original_tweet_url = "https://twitter.com/" . $source['username']. "/status/" . $original_id;
