Hai, Sometimes Twitter Server Gives the Like that only, I Faced this problem. u can't do only like how twitter server is doing that when u are scrolling to the end, u blindly end send a new request with the MAX Id That u have.
if u received the tweets, u can show them in the home time line. if u receive an empty response u can simply ignore it and remove the progress panel(if u are showing). //kamesh On Fri, Jul 8, 2011 at 11:24 PM, subbi <subbired...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am working on an application which retrieves the user Home Timelines > and save tweets to the local repository for further reference rather > than going to the your server always. > > I am facing quite typical issue with MAX_ID and count query > parameters, It is not working as expected. > > My application flow looks like below. > > Initially requesting for the top 100 tweets to download in the order > of top to down (like 800 to 700,600,500…0). > In order to achieve the above requirements used the following URL. > > http://api.twitter.com/version/1/home_timeline.fxml&count =100 > It is pulling the top 100 tweets as expected. > > From the next request onwards MAX_ID query parameter is used by the > following way for limiting the results between 700 to 600. > http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.xml&count > =100&MAX_ID=8546456456 > > Here MAX_ID is the last processed Tweet ID (i.e 700,600,500,400 > tweet ID’s) obtained in the previous XML, > > Strangely I am receiving the less number of tweets instead of > “COUNT” value i.e 100 tweets ( getting 96 or 98 tweets in the 4th and > 3rd requests itself although there are some more old tweets available > to download). > > I made totally 8 requests for downloading all tweets but I have got > 96 and 98 in the 3rd and 4th requests only. > > In Twitter Dev forum some discussion was there that if received > tweet count is less than Count parameter value then their won’t be > any more tweets to download.
