[twitter-dev] Re: How to get the number of pages in user's timeline
I'm pretty sure all tweet IDs are in a single global ordering, so 1 week ago is the same numerical ID (for the since_id) param for every user account. So you could post a single tweet (or similar) every day and use this to build a date to ID mapping over time... then you'll know an ID to use to indicate 1 week ago for any given date past when you started (and it's pretty simple to build a historical table) - then you can experiment with using the user/timeline API with since_id (and max_id too if needed) Don't know for sure it would work, but from what you've explained so far, that's the sort of thing I'd experiment with first... -- T -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
[twitter-dev] Re: How to get the number of pages in user's timeline
I think I spoke to soon. The statuses_count won't work in the case when I use the since_status parameter of the timeline because I may not wont to retrieve the whole timeline for the user but only the statuses for the last week. In this case I don't know how many pages are in the timeline. Any other suggestions?
