I want to get all (or preferred last 2 years) tweets of 300 different twitter users.
as I know it could be done by using full archive search API but because I use sandbox plan and 50 request limit per month it will take me several months to get this volume. I read about historical power track as another solution.
does historical power track has a free limit plan as full archive search?
witch other products I can use for this need that are free or at least cheap? (as I don’t have financial sponsor for my educational research).

I found this Overview | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform that return 3200 tweets. but still don’t know how to use this example with twurl or curl and where I should write dev environment name in URL?

GET https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=twitterapi&count=2

You’ll need to supply your consumer key and consumer secret alongside the request.
You can find the Twurl source code and documentation on Github here → GitHub - twitter/twurl: OAuth-enabled curl for the Twitter API.

I figured out GET statuses-user_timeline doesn’t need dev environment. I sent about 18 request that each one has count = 200 and last one fetch just an empty array (like this [ ]). does it mean that I reach 3200 limit for this user?

The limit has probably been reached hence 18 X 200 = 3600 and the limit is 3200.
