Limit reposnses in twitter call

[stephen_]

Can I add a variable to limit the amount of responses I get back from the get request?

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
	$.getJSON('http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=uspca&lang=en&callback=?', function(data) {
		var data = data.results;
		var html = '<ul class="list-how-works">';	
		for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++) {
	    	html += "<li><a href='http://twitter.com/" + data[i].from_user + "'>@" 
                      + data[i].from_user + "</a>: " + data[i].text + "</li>";
		}
		html += "</ul>"
    	$('.twitter-info').html(html);
	});
});
</script>

That's what an API is for: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/search

I've never used the Twitter API before but I'd say you're looking for "rpp".

thanks for that - I'm aware the API uses 'rpp=n' for the number of tweets to be displayed I'd like however to add it to the script I have found above.

Okay apologies I'm tired and a newbie to java and using api#s i've since added the parameter to the URL:

$.getJSON('http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=uspca&lang=en&rpp=5&callback=?', function(data) {

Full script is;

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
	$.getJSON('http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=uspca&lang=en&rpp=5&callback=?', function(data) {
		var data = data.results;
		var html = '<ul class="list-how-works">';	
		for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++) {
	    	html += "<li><a href='http://twitter.com/" + data[i].from_user + "'>@" 
                      + data[i].from_user + "</a>: " + data[i].text + "</li>";
		}
		html += "</ul>"
    	$('.twitter-info').html(html);
	});
});
</script>

JavaScript. It's not the same – at all.
