Exception while using count parameter of streaming api

[revati choudhari]

I am doing a project on twitter sentiment analysis, and I was trying
to pull previous statuses using the "count" parameter. Here is the
code:

inputConfig.Parameters = "track=" + FilterParametersTbx.Text +
"&count=10";

I was granted the shadow access level by twitter yesterday, which
means I can use the "count" parameter. Why do I still get the
following exception?

System.Net.WebException was unhandled by user code

If anyone has any idea about this, please help me out.

The count parameter is not available for all streaming roles/endpoints. What end point are you executing and what level of streaming do you have access to?

From the docs on the count parameter:

Firehose, Links, Birddog and Shadow clients interested in capturing all statuses should maintain a current estimate of the number of statuses received per second and note the time that the last status was received. Upon a reconnect, the client can then estimate the appropriate backlog to request. Note that the count parameter is not allowed elsewhere, including track, sample and on the default access role.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually I have the Shadow access level, which means that I should be
able to use the count parameter.
Why do I still get the exception? :(
Also, I didnt understand what you mean by "endpoint"? Please explain.

Does "Note that the count parameter is not allowed elsewhere,
including
track, sample" mean that I cannot use the count parameter with the
track parameter? The wording are a little confusing.

Thanks,
Revati

Shadow allows you to follow more users, but also allows you to continue to use track. There are no cases where we support count and track together.

Thanks for your reply John. So what parameters can I use together with
"count" to get the past statuses?
