Facebook Graph API: FQL Requests Older Than 30 Days

Question

I'm a bit confused. The docs say:

Each query of the stream table is limited to the previous 30 days or 50 posts, whichever is greater, however you can use time-specific fields such as created_time along with FQL operators (such as < or >) to retrieve a much greater range of posts.

So I tried, for example:

NSString *fqlStr1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:
                     @"SELECT actor_id, message FROM stream WHERE source_id = me() AND created_time > %d AND created_time < %d",dayBefore,dayAfter];

This was meant to display all posts between the day before and the day after my birthday... Which sorta worked..but it only was able to grab like 8 posts... and the posix dates are correct I checked them in a calculator..and its weird when I adjust the times a bit..like making the dayBefore earlier and the dayAfter later...I get a different set of posts but still only like 10....should I do a multiquery in like...1 hour intervals? Whats the reason for this?

Try adding LIMIT 5000 to the end of your query.
