Photos retrieved from the Twitter API are appearing as tiny 1x1 pixel images

I'm currently working on a project that is utilizing the Twitter API to display tweets. I have encountered an issue where the profile pictures from the API render as 1px x 1px when used as the src for an img tag. Strangely, if I directly paste the URL into the address bar, the image displays correctly. At first, I suspected my css to be the culprit, but any other image source works perfectly fine except for ones from Twitter's storage.

To illustrate the problem, here is a jsfiddle link:

https://jsfiddle.net/7Lv8g8uz/2/

HTML

<!-- URL pulled from Twitter API-->
<figure class="image is-64x64">
  <img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/429198033666863104/KGl1cz6-_normal.jpeg" alt="Image">
</figure>

<!-- Random image from Google -->
<figure class="image is-64x64">
  <img src="https://play.google.com/books/publish/u/0/static/images/google-search.png" alt="Image">
</figure>

Relevant CSS

.image {
  display: block;
  position: relative;
  vertical-align: top;
}

.is-64x64 {
  height: 64px;
  width: 64px;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

Could this issue with displaying Twitter images be a common one, or am I overlooking something obvious?

Answer №1

After a bit of investigation, I discovered that Disconnect was actually preventing images from loading from Twitter's image storage. It seems like the blocking feature is disabled for the actual Twitter domain, which explains why the images were appearing correctly there. Sometimes, the solution to a problem ends up being quite straightforward!
