Twitter API: Fetch tweets withing the last 4 hours

Question

I have a small program that fetch tweets and displays them in google maps, it works perfect but I would like to know if there is a way to put a timeframe, for instance lets say I would like to fetch the tweets written in the last 4 hours, is it possible? Thanks for your help!

The program is written in PHP and javaScript.

It may be possible using the max_id and since_id parameters. How you would calculate finding an ID within that 4 hour window, I am unsure, but this post might provide some answers: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6416836/5884189

I just coded a solution to the same problem in a similar question. Check the answer and change the WINDOW constant to 4 to get the tweets in the last four hours. Good luck!

PS: I think the mods don't want you to repeat similar answers in 2 questions so I let you the link, but I could edit the answer later and paste the code here if I'm wrong.
