Hello,

I'm looking for an information about post paging (especially, the
dashboard part). I know I can get new posts using the since_id
parameter (as mentioned here: http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2#m-ug-dashboard),
but is it possible to get also the older posts using similar method?

For example, I would like the API to return all posts from my
dashboard that were posted somewhere between 1st March and 1st April.
According to the documentation, all I could do right now is perform
queries with the offset parameter, check posting dates of returned
posts and ask again until I reach the desired post range... but that
seems wrong on so many levels.

What is the right way to do it? If there's none, is it possible that
such feature would be implemented?

Best regards,
Magda Sikorska

Unfortunately, you can't requests posts between two dates currently on the API. You'd have to use the since_id as you suggested below. 

Our current roadmap doesn't have this particular feature on it currently, but this can change as time goes on. I'll be sure you inform the list when any new features and changes in implementation happen.

Thanks!

This is such a bummer.. I need that feature as well for my project and have been looking for it for a while. It'll be really nice if this can be at least put on the roadmap..
