Hi there,

That looks like a bug, please open a Google Code issue (http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/entry 
) and we'll take a look.

is 'count' not working for friends timeline if you use XML?

I read this:

http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST+API+Documentation#friendstimeline

URL: http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.format
Formats: xml, json, rss, atom
Method(s): GET
API Limit: 1 per request
Parameters:
{{edit}}
count.  Optional.  Specifies the number of statuses to retrieve. May
not be greater than 200.  Ex:
http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml?count=5

and did this:

curl -s --netrc
'http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml?count=50' 
/tmp/EVERYTHING.xml

and got 20, not 50.

curl -s --netrc
'http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.json?count=50' 
/tmp/EVERYTHING.json

seemed to work, up to count=200

I'm getting weird results. Sometimes I'm getting 'count' honored, and  
sometimes getting 20 regardless of what I ask for.


Still checking to make sure it's not pilot error before I open a bug  
report.

BAH! It was indeed pilot error. Sorry for the noise.

That's what I get for coding at 4am.
