start-time end-time arguments having no effect

Open networks1 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug tweets are being returned that fall outside the start-time and end-time arguments. Call below returned tweets back to 2011

To Reproduce /usr/local/bin/search_tweets.py --query "istandwithrussia OR istandwithputin" --filename-prefix ~/standwith.json --no-print-stream --start-time "2022-02-20 00:01" --end-time "2022-05-17 13:52" --expansions=author_id,entities.mentions.username,geo.place_id,in_reply_to_user_id,referenced_tweets.id,referenced_tweets.id.author_id --tweet-fields=id,author_id,created_at,text,geo,entities --user-fields=location,description,public_metrics,username --results-per-call=500

Expected behavior Tweets returned that have created_at attribute between the specified dates.

Environment Ubuntu 20.04 Python version 3.6

Additional context I am an academic API user and this may be defaulting to historical search, but don't know if there is a way to tell or specify otherwise.

The time and date format has to be YYYY-mm-DDTHH:MM so,

--start-time "2022-02-20 00:01" --end-time "2022-05-17 13:52"

should be

--start-time "2022-02-20T00:01" --end-time "2022-05-17T13:52"

(all these are UTC)

Aha!

I wonder why it didn’t throw an error.

Thanks….S
