Hi Abhi, As Mark mentions, since_id is a Tweet ID not a unix timestamp. Right now this is in the region of 67770831463395328.
If you want to Search since a certain date you can include the parameter since:yyyy-mm-dd in your query parameter. e.g: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?lang=en&rpp=100&result_type=mixed&q=%22Hell+To+Pay%22+Neal+Hall+since%3A2011-05-08 Best, @themattharris Developer Advocate, Twitter http://twitter.com/themattharris On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 8:55 PM, Mark Linsey <m...@crowdbooster.com> wrote: > since_id values are tweet ID's, not unix timestamps. > > > On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 8:47 PM, Abhishek Jain <abhishek2j...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Hi Matt, thanks for the quick response: >> >> >> http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?lang=en&rpp=100&result_type=mixed&q=%22Hell+To+Pay%22+Neal+Hall&since_id= >> *1304633831* >> >> However unix time 1304633831 stands for May 5th is that too old for the >> twitter API? >> >> Cheers, >> Abhi >> >> >> On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 8:42 PM, Matt Harris <thematthar...@twitter.com>wrote: >> >>> Hi Abhi, >>> >>> The ID you are passing is 1304977102 which is really old.
