API results different from web

[Ray McClure]

We are trying to get Adobe set up with a SXSW style user for the Apollo Camp conference on Friday. Im going to let them know the API call they want to use is http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/787909.xml. But It's not showing the same data as http://twitter.com/apollocamp/with_friends
Any ideas?

OK. We have run into an issue, which I am not sure of whether it is a
Twitter bug or our not completely understanding the API.

Looking at the API page:

http://twitter.com/help/api

We are calling this api:

Timeline of you and your friends:
http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml

I think this should give us the same data that is displayed on this page:

http://twitter.com/apollocamp/with_friends

However, it is only returning the last single post from my friends, as
opposed to returning the last N posts from my friends and me.

I tried both the JSON and XML versions of the API and got the same
results. I also tried the RSS and ATOM feeds linked from:

http://twitter.com/apollocamp/with_friends

http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/787909.rss
http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/787909.atom

It looks like the API is only returning the last post from each friend,
as opposed to returning the last N post from my account and all of my
friends.

Is there any way to get the data stream in API form that is shown on
this page:

http://twitter.com/apollocamp/with_friends

This is important to our app, as we don't want to loose twitters if
someone sends 2 in between refresh intervals.

Any thoughts?
