Need to get past tweets like the search, but the fields do not exist

#1

Hi!

I would like to use the Search API or REST API to search something like this:

https://twitter.com/search?q=test%20since%3A2010-01-01%20until%3A2010-02-01&src=typd

The problem is: the “q” it’s fine, but the “since” and “until” do not exist on those API’s !! how can I make that kind of search??..

Thanks!

When using the search API, in the search query you can have since: and until: and they should work fine. Just note that you’re only able to access the last week of tweets so you might have less results that when you are on twitter.com.

Thank Vincent!! the last week of tweets isn’t enough, I need to gather information from the past year or many months, the Streaming API it’s the solution? I imagine the Streaming API as a permanent connection with real time tweets, not old tweets… how can I get what I need? thanks again!! =)
