Twitter trends: how to fetch top 100 most used words?

For a research project, I need to download the top 100 most used words on Twitter, multiple times per hour. However, as far as I can tell, the Twitter API only supports downloading the top 10 most used words ("trends").

My questions therefore are:

  1. Am I missing something in the API? Is there another way to fetch more than 10 trends?
  2. If there isn't, does anybody know of a workaround for this problem?

you should monitor your timeline get all tweets , save in database, analyze via NLP, and save words(for example person names), after aggregate and get counts, for example "Obama 50 times, Java 10 times, linux 5 times"

Put ?count=50 at the end of the URL to get the top 50. I haven't been able to get more than 50.
