How to reach Tweet Limit with low Requests limit

[ANI1]

Hi,

I’m guessing I’m missing something, but when I try to query against the full archive search, it only returns 100 tweets at once (looks like that’s the max?), but then gives me a next page link. However, when I then make another request using the next page link, it counts as one of my 100 requests.

My question is, how do I reach my 1.25 million tweet limit with only 100 requests?

Thanks!

Yes, paginating counts as requests - any successful HTTP call will count. If you’re using the paid version however, you should be getting 500 tweets at a time, not 100. This depends on how you set the parameters and what script / library you’re using.

The 1.25 million limit is an upper bound, that you can only begin to reach if you pay for the highest tier. Your tier is 100 requests one - so you can retrieve a max of 50,000 tweets (100 calls * 500 tweets per call)
