Is it possible to get more than 100 tweets using the Twitter4j API?
If so can anyone point out the way to do so??

Would need to see your code to provide a code example specific to your case, but you can do this through since_id or max_id.

This information is for the Twitter API.

To get the previous 100 tweets:

  1. find the the lowest id in the set that you just retrieved with your query
  2. perform the same query with the max_id option set to the id you just found.

To get the next 100 tweets:

  1. find the the highest id in the set that you just retrieved with your query
  2. perform the same query with the since_id option set to the id you just found.

In Twitter4j, your Query object has two fields that represent the above API options: sinceId and maxId.
