Increase number of items in RSS feed?

[probonopd]

Is there an URL parameter to increase the number of items in an RSS feed? Is this documented somewhere?

[zedeus]

There is not, what is your use case?

[probonopd]

I would like to include RSS feeds coming from nitter into a planet aggregator. For this, I would like to get more entries in the RSS feed than I am currently getting.

One option is to use the Min-Id header for pagination, see here for details: #96 (comment)

[probonopd]

Thanks @zedeus. I was hoping for something like &n=100 in the URL. I cannot send headers. My blog aggregator only allows me to specify an URL.

I guess it is not (yet) possible?

[zedeus]

If hosting your own instance is possible it's quite easy, otherwise it's not possible yet.

[probonopd]

OK thanks, unfortunately I can only use the publicly hosted instance. Would you take a feature request for this? Thank you very much.

I also think that having an URL parameter is useful and would love to see that feature implemented.

What about Pagination and Local Caching of pages/queries?

[acarasimon96]

Local caching sounds like a good idea but not pagination. I don't think I know of any RSS feeds that support pagination, and implementing one would open up a possibility of abuse anyway.

Could you expand on the first part? How could we achieve this?

Change 20 on these two lines to increase the amount of tweets for search and user timelines, then recompile and run it as described in the readme:
