Get tweets from a period #11

I'm trying to get only the tweets that some @ posts during some period. Is there any way to do that? Or can I only get the whole user's timeline?

User timelines are constrained by Twitter API... They don't provide search by time periods. You'll need to get the whole user timeline and then filter them out... but note, you can only get 3200 tweets from a user's public timeline
