Found a site today that gives you your first tweet. Looking over the API, I can not figure out how to do this. Would doing a date search, and going way back in time, to get the first tweet work? I thought the search API only afforded you 7 days.
If I use REST, then I am not sure how I would do this other than paging through the users timeline, which would take a long time. I find that myfirsttweet.com is able to give very fast results.
Are they pulling data from an archive? They mention whitelisting on the site, implying they are polling the API, but I can not seem to figure out how this is being pulled off.
Thanks for any help. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ *
