Hey James,

The since_id refers to the Twitter status id of the latest tweet. So this parameter can be used to returns tweets with ids greater than the given id.

Hi,

Great tool, just working on a python wrapper, wanted to ask how the since_id parameter is parsed. The timestamp in the example on the api page (1300588696) seems to me to resolve to the 20th March 2011::

>>> d = datetime.fromtimestamp(1300588696)
>>> d
datetime.datetime(2011, 3, 20, 2, 38, 16)

Yet some manual testing shows me that 1300588696 does works as a timestamp (I get 88 results for www.yahoo.com). Can you tell me how you generate / parse / compare the timestamp?

Thanks,

James.

This is excellent. The next valuable step here is to search for url-shortened links on Facebook, Friendfeed, and other places where people are sharing links.
