tweets_aranceles ← searchTwitteR(“aranceles”, n=3200, since = “2019-10-01”, until = “2019-10-30”)
Warning message:
In doRppAPICall(“search/tweets”, n, params = params, retryOnRateLimit = retryOnRateLimit, :
3200 tweets were requested but the API can only return 0

the same happens when putting dates from last month. It only works for november but the Sandbox membership mentions that the time frame is the full history of twitter.

Are you using the full archive search? Your description seems to suggest you’re only using the standard 7 day search.

Actually the error referring to 3200 suggests you are using the user timeline API not even search. What’s your goal?

How do I make sure I’m using the full archive search??

Im trying to obtain daily tweets from 2015 up to today regarding different exchange rate topics. In this case its the keyword “aranceles” but im only able to obtain recent tweets. When i put in older dates it wont give me any results. and the “searchTwitteR” function is for general tweets, without any specific user.

searchTwitter(searchString, n=25, lang=NULL, since=NULL, until=NULL,
locale=NULL, geocode=NULL, sinceID=NULL, maxID=NULL,
resultType=NULL, retryOnRateLimit=120, …)

this is the function description
