title: How can I get all tweets relating to a specific user in Twitter?
body: <p>I am new to the <a href="https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1" rel="nofollow" title="Twitter API 1.1">Twitter API</a> and I'm having an issue with the user_timeline API. </p>
  
  <p>I am using the following REST query:</p>
  
  <p><code>https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=twitterapi&amp;count=50</code></p>
  
  <p>which is provides the user's timeline data, however it only gives the user's tweets; I want all tweets by and <em>about</em> the user (i.e. the user's tweets, and mentions of the user by the user's followers).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
