R help - Jul 2014 - ATTN: Urgent Guidance Needed on scraping tweets for last 10 years using TwitteR / search twitter function.

Hi


This is Abhishek and I am trying to look for tweets on 'Election' from
2000 to YTD. I have registered on twitter and performed a handshake
between the systems as well. Next I am trying to fetching tweets
chronologically using the below code:-


tweets1.list =
searchTwitter('Election',lang="en",since='2000-07-01',
until='2014-07-30', cainfo="cacert.pem")


All I get in return is 26 line items between 27th - 28th of July only.


Can you please help me understand why it gives me so less number of
tweets, backdated by two days only & also if there is a an alternative
method of fetching tweets over the last ten years, at the minimum,
categorized by date ?


Many thanks in advance for your guidance. This is an urgent request
and hence requesting your immediate assistance.


Best

Abhishek
