Hashtag History

[Thulfiqar Al-Tahmazi]

Dear Laurence,

I am trying to collect all the tweets posted under a hashtag which was trending 6 months ago. I wonder if that is possible. I tried to set the start parameter in the past but it did not work.

Thanks for all the fantastic work!

Best regards,

Thulfiqar

Thulfiqar,

With FireAnt, you can only collect historic tweets for individual user handles. For normal search terms, you can only set the time as current or in the future.

This is a limitation of the Twitter API.

Laurence.
