The Tweet only exists on a Twitter server. The webpage is downloaded to a client device and provides the information so that the client device can bring the Tweet data to the client device.

To embed a tweet in a webpage, Twitter provides official embed code that uses an <blockquote> with a script. Here’s the standard HTML snippet:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Embed Tweet Example</title>
</head>
<body>

<!– Replace the URL below with the URL of the tweet you want to embed –>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<a href=" https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1560785243130721280 "></a>
</blockquote>

<!– Twitter embed script –>
http://a%20href=

</body>
</html>

How it works:

The <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> contains an <a> linking to the tweet.

The script https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js automatically converts the blockquote into a fully rendered embedded tweet with styling, buttons, and metadata.

You just need to replace the href URL with the tweet you want.
