linkedinj get old network updates

Question

I am using linkedinj. I want to get all the old updates of my first level connections. I tried to set the date but it displays only the recent only

        Date startDate = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy").parse("05/18/05");
        Date endDate = new Date();

        network = client.getUserUpdates(userId, networkUpdateTypeSet,startDate,endDate);

It shows very recent only. How do i fetch all the updates of a user?

Answer 1

From LinkedIn's API doc, a maximum of 250 records can be returned in a single query for network updates. So you cannot get all the old network updates in a single query if there are more than 250 updates. So you may need to issue a number of requests to get all the old updates, for example, updates of one month at a time.
