How to download 85000 tweets using tweet id and tweepy?

[SoumyaB10469816]

I want to download tweets posted during the August 2016 earthquake in central Italy using tweepy but tweeter developer account is showing that I can make 50 requests per month and per each request I can download 100 tweets at a time but I have a file containing 85000 tweet id and I need to download all this tweets for my project work.
Can anyone know how to download all these tweets?

Hey @SoumyaB10469816,

Since you have 85000 Tweet IDs and just need to hydrate them, the Search API is likely not the proper product for you.

We have two endpoints that would work for this use case:
statuses/lookup
statuses/show

lookup will allow you to lookup multiple Tweet IDs separated by a comma, whereas show is a single Tweet at a time. Considering the volume of Tweets that you are working with, I recommend that you work with statuses/lookup.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!
