Can someone with an IOS mobile device make an "audio" tweet (can be silence, don't care) -- I just need to see what the API response looks like. (I don't have an Apple phone)

I was looking earlier but couldn't find anything in the API json (standard or Labs), it looks identical to a video tweet, eg: twitter.com/TaylorLorenz/s
This Tweet is unavailable.

Well, that sucks then. It looks like there is no way to filter just audio tweets.

Here's the full view under extended_entities. I'm not seeing any distinction that shows this is an "audio only" tweet.
It looks exactly like a standard video.
I have to look at the video variants / bandwidth -- there *might* be a way to determine that it's likely an audio tweet if they always have the same bandwidth / dimensions / variants.
I'd have to look at a bunch of video metadata to see if there is anything that can be used.

I suspect the iOS app is using a private API of some sort, which would have a flag or something else to give the extra functionality to an ordinary video tweet. From a deployment perspective - easiest way to run this test - no changes to existing platform, just app update.
