Hi, I am Trying to backup all my tweets (for @seiz) but it seems tweets of a certain age aren't accessible via the api (the oldest tweet i get is ID 1226937920 from 02/2009). I am even using since_id and max_id restrictions in the API call in order to avoid hitting a pagination limit and still can't get any very old tweets. Same goes for mentions (and i guess everything else like DMs too).
How can i get all my tweets in order to back them up? Note, i basically have to do this only once and then only get a daily/ weekly or whatever delta using since_id, so it should not put too much load on the api. PS: there's also a BUG. when using max_id in the api call, the result will include tweets where ID==max_id which, according to the documentation should not be the case and only every thweet with an id between since_id and < max_id (but not including max_id) should be returned. (I filed a ticket on help.twitter, but am also posting here, as past experience seemed to indicate, that the ticketing system is not maintained – sorry for the cross posting) Thanks Stefan
