I am using Twitters REST api for the first time and I am a little confused by their documentation. I want to poll their API every ten minutes (to avoid the rate limits), retrieve the previous ten minutes of tweets and then do some processing on them.
I am using "GET statuses/home_timeline" to do this. The first part of the documentation says it will return the most recent 20 tweets but then says it will return up to 800 and then later on says it will return 200.
Could someone advise me on the correct method to use?
Thanks
