Is it possible to get more than 100 tweets?

Question

Is it possible to get more than 100 tweets using the Twitter4j API?
If so can anyone point out the way to do so??

Answer 1

Would need to see your code to provide a code example specific to your case, but you can do this through since_id or max_id.

This information is for the Twitter API.

To get the previous 100 tweets:

1. find the the lowest id in the set that you just retrieved with your query
2. perform the same query with the max_id option set to the id you just found.

To get the next 100 tweets:

1. find the the highest id in the set that you just retrieved with your query
2. perform the same query with the since_id option set to the id you just found.

In Twitter4j, your Query object has two fields that represent the above API options: sinceId and maxId.

Answer 2

You can't load more than 100 tweet per request but i don't know why you want this, instead you can load all tweets in "Endless page" i.e loading 10 items each time the user scroll a list .

for example

Query query = new Query("stackoverflow");
query.setCount(10);// sets the number of tweets to return per page, up to a max of 100
QueryResult  result = twitter.search(query);

now if you want to load the next page simple easy

if(result.hasNext())//there is more pages to load
{
query = result.nextQuery();
result = twitter.search(query);
}

and so on.
