Hello. I'm developing an application that has to analyse as much tweets of a user as possible (all of them would be the optimal case, but the API returns up to 3200 tweets, but no big deal).
The problem is that I'm getting a different amount of tweets for every user I try. With my personal account, I can get about 470 tweets (3 pages of 200 tweets). When I try to get the 4th page, it returns blank. You can try it out with my account; http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/Cisneiros.json?count=200&page=3 <--- has tweets http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/Cisneiros.json?count=200&page=4 <--- hasn't tweets (as of jan 4rd, 2011 / 12:11 AM -03:00) I tried to get my tweets while authenticated on my girlfriend's account, instead of mine, but got the same results. No matter who is authenticated, I get the same number of tweets for every user I try (but they differ between themselves). If I try another user, I can get more pages (like 15 pages of 200, for example). Other users just return 2 pages... I really have no idea whats happening. I know that this method strips the retweets, but I don't retweet that much to, from 3200 status, have only 470 real updates by me. If anyone can give a light on how to fetch all possible tweets from a user, I you really appreciate. I have done lots of searching, but found nothing to help me solving this. Thanks in advance, Alexandre Cisneiros Filho. -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
