2009-01-27 Thread Jesse Stay
I'm noticing that when your call direct_messages, and include a since date, it only returns one page of data. If I remove the since variable it returns multiple pages of data. Is this intended, or a bug? It would be nice to have all pages (probably up to a max) of all direct messages since the s

Hi there, That has always been the case on search.twitter.com. We're working on how to support conversations better both on the site and via the API using things like in_reply_to_id. We'll keep you posted as new stuff becomes available. Thanks; — Matt Sanford On Jan 27, 2009, at 0

I guess some people will take this the wrong way, and it's slightly OT, but it's what I think and it might give pause for thought. If you're running into the situation that multiple groups are also building what you're building, you might take it as a sign that you should be doing something else.

Does this not exist? Using the search API, I can make search for tweets work but can't find people. Is there a function or code available within the API that allows you to search for users by name? Twitter.com has this functionality under "Find People" and search doesn't let you find people by
