Dear all,
I am currently using the Academic Research track in order to get historical tweets for my PhD thesis.
I am using the full archive search functionality of the Twitter APIv2.

I have noticed that the number of results obtained through the twitter page is significantly larger than the ones obtained through the API. Is that normal behavior or am I not manipulating the API correctly?
(I am using pagination, by retrieving the next_token if available :slight_smile: )

Moreover, I have noticed that in other languages the number of results obtained through the API vary greatly. For instance, a search in Greek returns multiple results through the Twitter page but none whenever I use the API.

Thank you very much for your help!
Kind regards,
Georgia

What exact query are you using? And on what Twitter page? Also what implementation and or library are you using?

Dear Igor,

while searching, I noticed that by default the latest 30day tweets were returned.
Therefore, I have changed the start_time and now multiple results are returned.
If not specified, the end_time is the current, right? Therefore, I would not need to set it?

Thank you for your interest!!

Yes, the default end time is 30 seconds ago or something like that
