only retrieves a few tweets

aptitude-learn opened this issue · 1 comments

I was able to retrieve many tweets dated all the way back to 2015 a few days ago, but now I can only retrieve tweets from the past month. The only difference between the queries is that, a few days ago I was retrieving based on user, and now I am attempting based on tweet content. I checked Twitter, there's definitely more tweets that should be retrieved that the scraper is not retrieving,

Yeah - unfortunately, there's not much you can do - the search index is sometimes updated, sometimes times out - so best strategy is to maybe try again, or add or remove some operators - like, if a search is failing, try adding a lang:en in there to make it more restrictive if possible - or remove an operator.
