Actually, for keyword searches of the past, wouldn't you use Search, not REST?

"A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems." - Paul Erdos
Quoting Tom van der Woerdt <i...@tvdw.eu>:
To be very simple: Streams = future, REST = past
If it's 8 AM, you should start your application that uses the Stream API
and stop it at around 9:45 AM. Then, for every tweet that comes in, you
would check the time and decide to use it or not.
With the REST API, you execute some requests at 9:45 AM, going back to
9:00 AM. Depending on the amount of tweets sent about AAPL, this may be
a lot of requests. I'd recommend using the Streams API and keep a small
program running to archive (or whatever you want to do with them) the
tweets.

Hi -
I would like to download (all) the tweets in the public timeline that
correspond to a particular keyword (or keywords) from a specific start
time to end time. Would the streams API help me do this.
For example - all tweets (from all users) that contain the keyword
'AAPL' between 9 AM and 9:30 AM EST.
I realize that the number of requests is rate-limited and hence will
not result in all tweets - if one gets whitelisted - is it possible ?
Any other way ?
Thanks in advance for your answer(s)
