I see the 2 following statements made, in the following order within moments

of each other at http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST+API+Documentation.


Under "Pagination Limiting":

"Clients may request up to 3,200 statuses via the page and count
parameters. Requests for more than the limit will result in a reply with a
status code of 200 and an empty result in the format requested."

Under "Be Nice to the Servers":

"If your application keeps a local archive that persists between sessions,
it's
okay to request an entire timeline up to 200 statuses."


So I can only request up to 200 statuses even though the limit using page
or count is 3200?  What gives?

I'd like to pull about 1950 statuses, all of my updates, in one API
connection.
Is my limit 200 per API request (requiring 10 API requests) OR is my limit
1950 in one API request?  Are there other parameters besides page and
count which are more server friendly, thus allowing larger requests?

What am I missing?  Can someone clarify please?  Now that I figured out
how to do what I want to do, I want to make sure that I play by the rules
so that I don't get blacklisted for killing the servers.

Thanks in advance yet again!
