Truth Social URLs are case sensitive

I'm not sure if there's an easy way around this, but I'll point it out:
The Truth Social account lookup succeeds in a case-insensitive manner with the uri_check, for example this lower-case lookup succeeds:
https://truthsocial.com/api/v1/accounts/lookup?acct=realdonaldtrump
and returns the following account URL in the json response, with different capitalization:
"url":"https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump"
However, case matters on the site;
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump works, but
https://truthsocial.com/@realdonaldtrump does not.
This means that the prety URI "uri_pretty" : "https://www.truthsocial.com/@{account}", which uses the original search account name with original capitalization, may not find the account.
I don't think there's currently any mechanism to incorporate the exact query results into the uri_pretty, but it seems like that's what it would take ro resolve this.
Ooooo. Good catch and I see exactly what you are saying here. The WMN tool does not have a method of fixing this aside from removing the uri_pretty and just pointing to the API page. I think that'd be the best thing as it'll show the exact caps to use.
What do you think about us removing the uri_pretty @jocejocejoe ?
Implemented change.
Sorry for the slow response. Seems like a reasonable fix for now. Thanks!
