How to parse json response from twitter

So I'm doing a request like this: https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&include_rts=true&screen_name=twitterapi&count=3

Now, I'm using jQuery, and I'm trying to display the data like this:

  success: function(data, textStatus, xhr) {

    if(data)
    {
    for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
      $("#at .tweet-message").html(data.text);
    };

I want to display 3 tweets, what I'm doing wrong?

You're missing the index when referencing data array elements (apart from some braces):

success: function(data, textStatus, xhr) {

    if(data) {
        for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
           $("#at .tweet-message").html(data[i].text); //here
        }
    }
}

edit

It shows only one tweet because you're using html() instead of, for example, append(). You substitute the element content in each iteration.

Another way by chaching data.length. Just extented soulcheck's answer

success: function(data, textStatus, xhr) {
    var i = 0,
        len = data ? data.length : 0;

    for ( ; i < len; i++ ) {
        $("#at .tweet-message").html(data[i].text);
    }
}

len = data ? data.length : 0 means:

if ( data ) {
    len = data.length;
}
else {
    len = 0;
}
