How do I retrieve a user's tweets of last 7 days using twitter API?

I want to pull tweets from an authenticated user's home timeline (user + people the user follows) of past 7 days. How can I do this? The documentation of GET statuses/home_timeline only provides a count parameter and some other parameters like since_id and max_id which I don't really understand.

Documentation: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/tweets/timelines/api-reference/get-statuses-home_timeline

Is there any other endpoint which might help? Or is it just impossible to do so?

It’s completely possible. You need to page through the home timeline endpoint results, per the documentation. – Andy Piper

The recent search in the Twitter v2 API can do what you are asking.

Here is an example:

https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/recent?query=from:username is:verified&max_results=100

The Research Search API can only search in the last 7 days by default. You can return a maximum of 100 tweets per request.
