Twitter Search API – since_id and max_id

How should I calculate since_id and max_id when I want to use Twitter's search API? I want to collect a lot of data from today 00:00:00 until 23:59:59 today. So I read I have to use max_id and since_id as pagination doesn't exist anymore. How would I use it in the public/worldwide search function?

I want to gather all tweets from today with a certain set of hashtags. How should I go about?

You can do this using the twitter search API. Your arguments would have the following structure:

#yourtag since:2015-04-27 until:2015-04-28

If you're using the npm module:

client.get('search/tweets', {q: '#yourtag since:2015-04-27 until:2015-04-28'}, function(error, tweets, response){
   console.log(tweets);
});
