Hello!
I’m having trouble getting the Twitter Search API to work for me. The issue stems from the “until” command.
View my code here: http://pastebin.com/ds77KWqc
Queries at index 0 and 1 work fine, queries at index 2 and 3 do not. Note: both of these work fine when using the Twitter Search in-browser tool ( https://twitter.com/search?q='"Apple"%20until%3A2011-12-29&src=typd ) ( https://twitter.com/search?q="Apple"%20since%3A2011-12-27%20until%3A2011-12-29&src=typd )
This behavior is identical in both Tweepy (Python) and in twitter4j (Java). I have a sample program in Java if you would like to see the problem replicated in twitter4j.
So to clarify, the following does not return any results:
# Tweepy api search results = api.search(q='"Apple" until:2011-12-29')
Here is the accompanying Search API version: https://twitter.com/search?q='"Apple"%20until%3A2011-12-29&src=typd
The Search API only indexes about a week’s worth of tweets – unfortunately, you can’t search that far back in time with the Search API.
