Get more than 20 last messages

Twitter API documentation says that I can get only 20 last messages (proof link). I'm just wond开发者_StackOverflowering if there is any other possibility to get more messages, for example - "all the messages from specific point in time".

I think you can specify count, which can be upto 200 and number of pages as well which allows you to retrieve upto 3200 status messages. And since_id allows you to retrieve messages after that particular message.

http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml?count=100&page=5&since_id=23323

Check the parameters in the link you've pasted. There's a parameter count that allows you to get up to 200 messages in one call. If you want more then that you can change since_id parameter value to get even older entries or use page_id.

See the count parameter.

For example:

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=someuser&count=50

That would get 50 messages, instead of the default 20.
