Hello, I'm working on some improvements to a PHP module I develop which is pulling data from the REST API user_timeline endpoint. A popular request has been the ability to filter out @replies and user mentions. This is easily doable from a PHP sense; however, my problem is that since there isn't a URL parameter to help with this filtering, there will be instances where users have one (or both) of these filter options enabled which will cause no tweets to display once my code starts to render the feed and filter the tweets. Internally, I can take my user's specified count parameter and double or triple the number of tweets that are actually fetched, but there still rests the chance that a user wants to display 5 tweets and 12 of their last 15 (supposing I triple their count) match a filter condition.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to an effective way to ensure I get the number of tweets that the user is looking for without having to change endpoints, run multiple queries when pulling the data, or running a single query with an excessively large number of tweets (i.e. pulling for 50 tweets to get 5)?
