Why only get 1 tweet when using tweepy?

Question

A few days ago, I applied a twitter developer account to be used with tweepy library. I tried to scrape with keyword like Google, get a lot of tweets. But after I tried to scrape data with specific keyword, I only got 1 tweet, even though tweets related to those keyword were pretty much on Twitter.

tweets = tw.Cursor(api.search,
                   q='simas jiwa',
                   lang="id",
                   since=datetime.date(2005, 10, 6)).items(100)

The result is like this:

@SimasJiwa asuransi simas jiwa aman2 saja kan ?

The standard search API only goes back up to 7 days, so you will not be able to search from the date you've provided. I think there are only a few results in the past 7 days. — Andy Piper, Jun 05 '20 at 11:32

There’s a option you can add to the Cursor. Max amount without a license is 100 though

Count=x
