Hi Rachel, Twitter's count parameter is more of an "up to" parameter -- it will give you up to the number of results you request.
You can increase the amount of results you get returned on most timelines by requesting the inclusion of retweets with the include_rts=true parameter. Retweets are naturally part of the more primitive timeline that the API is obtaining its data from and are filtered out when include_rts=true is not included. Perfect pagination is a difficult goal to succeed at when working with the Twitter API -- it's one reason you'll rarely see strict pagination with consistent result counts in most Twitter-based apps displaying timelines. @episod <http://twitter.com/episod> - Taylor Singletary On Mon, Apr 25, 2011 at 10:59 PM, Rachel xu <rachelxut...@gmail.com> wrote: > UserID: 46259776 > ID : alexkim99 > PW : asdf1234 > > HTTP URL: http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json with > parameters: { > "count": "10", > "page": "1", > "max_id": "62669615167324159" > } > Twitter only returns 9 items. > "sTweetId": "62668936843505664", > "sTweetId": "62668861719318528", > "sTweetId": "62667918227415040", > "sTweetId": "62667730612002816", > "sTweetId": "62667407667367936", > "sTweetId": "62666196511756288", > "sTweetId": "62665154105577472", > "sTweetId": "62663782698205184", > "sTweetId": "62663208573480960", > > > But with the following parameters, Twitter could return 10 items, > which means for the top search, there are enough items could return > but not. > > > HTTP URL: http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json with > parameters: { > "count": "10", > "page": "1", > "max_id": "62663208573480959" > } > Twitter returns 10 items. > "sTweetId": "62662914896707584", > "sTweetId": "62662830566014977", > "sTweetId": "62662674550501377", > "sTweetId": "62661715774550016", > "sTweetId": "62660583631224832", > "sTweetId": "62659577342197761", > "sTweetId": "62659340359831552", > "sTweetId": "62658402811252736", > "sTweetId": "62658240449740800", > "sTweetId": "62657201495474176", > > -- > 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 > -- 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
