Hi, I'm trying to archive all my twitters to a local database. I'm using user_timeline but have hit a couple of problems.
First, if I set the 'count' parameter to the maximum of 200 and ask for 'page' 2, then it doesn't fetch back tweets 201-400, but instead fetches tweets 21-220. So 'count' does not affect the number of tweets on a 'page'. So if you set the count to 200 and request several incrementally numbered pages, then you're soon only getting 20 new tweets each time, plus 180 you've had before. There doesn't seem much point in being able to set the count higher than 20 unless you're only fetching page 1. Is this normal? Second, I can't fetch tweets further back than page 41 (with 20 tweets per page), which is also as far back as I can go on the website. Is there any way to fetch tweets older than this? If not, will there be? I'd really like to make a local copy of my tweets but can't see how to do so at the moment. Many thanks, Phil
