Describe your Question/Issue:

I'm trying to extract a set of posts under a certain hashtag. In order to do so I'm using the following function "feed_tag", but I do not find a way to specify HOW MANY posts I want to get. I tried with the variable "count" as per other functions, but it doesn't seems to work. Can you tell me if there is a way?

Paste the output of python -V here:

Code:

api = Client(user_name, password)
api.feed_tag(hashtag, rank_token)

I found a way thanks to @MaximBoyarskiy within issue number #297. The solution is to use max_id=results['next_max_id'] within the feed_tag parameters.

    while has_more and len(items) < posts_number:
        if "results" in locals():
            results = api.feed_tag(hashtag, rank_token, max_id=results['next_max_id'])
        else:
            results = api.feed_tag(hashtag, rank_token)
        items.extend(results.get('items', []))
        has_more = results.get('more_available')
