There is no direct 'presto et voila' method. All API methods that support since for a starting date should also accept until for an ending date. The argument is whether until should be inclusive, or exclusive.

[twitter-dev] Re: Date-based update retrieval
The since parameter doesn't achieve what I want since it pulls in all the unneeded tweets AFTER the specified date as well. This isn't just a personal project; if I can get this to work, it would be on a multi-user scale, where each user supplies his or her twitter credentials and can then see their tweets when they click on a specific day. Manually downloading a CSV file and parsing it each and every time would be a waste of server resources. It seems like the API would be robust enough to handle a SELECT ALL TWEETS FROM $date. Is it impossible to write a script that will show me my own tweets for a given day?
