title: How do I fetch n tweets before and after a specific tweet?
body: <p>I am trying to use the Twitter API to fetch <code>n</code> tweets by a user that occurred BEFORE a particular tweet by that same user and <code>n</code> tweets that occurred AFTER. For example, if I know of a particular tweet <code>t</code> by user <code>u</code>, then for <code>n = 50</code>, I want to fetch the 50 tweets that led up to t and the 50 that occurred right after <code>t</code>. <code>GET statuses/user_timeline</code> lets me fetch tweets for a user from their timeline and I suppose I could use <code>max_id</code> to specify the <code>ID</code> of tweet <code>t</code> such that the 50 prior to t would be fetched, but I can't figure out how to get the 50 that followed <code>t</code>. since_id, obviously, won't help.</p>
  
  <p>Is this even possible? If so, how should I go about it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
