since_id limit

[Trevor Turk]

I'm just reviewing the API docs, and I'm not clear on something.

http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST+API+Documentation#replies

If you pass in a since_id, then do you get ALL the results since that
ID, or just the latest 20?

I'm planning to ping Twitter every minute and collect the @replies
sent to a particular user. I'm sure I won't get more than 20 @replies
per minute, but I would like to know if that's something I should note
for the future.

Thanks,
- Trevor

If there are more than 20 results, you can use paging to grab them all.

But didn't the since_id parameter return all tweets since that ID
originally? I have a Twitter client that I've coded which was working
fine with since_id till yesterday (December 1st). But since yesterday
it only returns the last 20 tweets. Was a functionality/API change
made?

Kind regards,

There was a small change. They fixed a bug with since_id where it
would set it as 0 if the status had been deleted (#77). It looks like
they now require a count parameter as well.

So what's a good workaround? Request the next page if you get 20
results? Too bad, but still doable :)

No, just use the count (200) parameter if you want all tweets since
"that" id.
