I am trying to retrieve direct messages using the since_id to fetch only the new ones. The documentations says "Returns only direct messages with an ID greater than (that is, more recent than) the specified ID." However, the API is giving me messages with an ID lower than the since_id that I pass. Is this a known issue?
Here is what I ask for: http://twitter.com/direct_messages.xml?since_id=80627918 Here is what I get back (I snipped out the irrelevant stuff) <direct-messages type="array"> <direct_message> <id>80627918</id> ... </direct_message> <direct_message> <id>80615056</id> ... </direct_message> You can see that the second message is lower than my since_id parameter. Am I doing something wrong?
