Get my Nth tweet via twitter API

Looking at the Twitter API, I'm struggling to see how I could get my Nth tweet. I know there is a maximum number we can go back (something like 3200 latest tweets or so), but I'd like to access a specific tweet that I know the N of (i.e. it was my 789th tweet (note that it really wasn't that specific N)).

Thank you!

You can't. The tweet doesn't contain information on its number in stream. All you can do is count back: you know your current tweet number (statuses_count) and just count backwards in statuses/user_timeline (not too hard with pagination, but they re going to disable it soon).
