Byteblocks, Try using the "page" and "rpp" parameters in addition to the "since" parameter:
# rpp: Optional. The number of tweets to return per page, up to a max of 100. * Example: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=devo&rpp=15 # page: Optional. The page number (starting at 1) to return, up to a max of roughly 1500 results (based on rpp * page. Note: there are pagination limits. * Example: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=devo&rpp=15&page=2 On Jun 8, 9:26 pm, Byteblocks <naveenko...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am trying to get messages between a start and end date.
