Re: [twitter-dev] Home_timeline after tweet destroy

2010-07-23 Thread John Kalucki
The count parameter means 'no more than', not 'exactly'. We do read-repair
on home timeline status_id-based vectors as we gather the statuses. It's not
practical to fan-out deletes to the materialized home timeline vector. In
nearly all display cases, displaying 19 or 20 tweets is equivalent. The
client is either in a loop, paging through for a since_id, or the user is
likely to click more anyway.

Hi Luis,

I might be wrong there, but I think this is the way it works because of 
twitter's caching and distribution architecture. You can never assume to get 
the full amount of tweets or users - some might be filtered, deleted or 
whatnot. If you need more, just get the next page/set using cursors.

[twitter-dev] Home_timeline after tweet destroy

2010-07-23 Thread luisg
Hi there...

I'm experience something strange, I think...
If I do a tweet destroy through my application and after that I get
the home_timeline with the property count=20, I'm not getting the 20
tweets that I should get. I'm getting just 19.
If I do another tweet destroy and execute home_timeline again, I will
get only 18... and so on...

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to force to get the 20
tweets?

Thanks,

Luis
