Hi,
How is it possible to increase the number of request to scrape user information? The limit is 180 requests per every 15 min, I think.

Thank you for your answer.

I’ll ask this mostly out of interest - what function are you trying to call? It sounds like maybe something like users/show?
.
Every developer and app gets the same number of API calls. We are always looking to understand developer needs better. What is it that you want to do, that we don’t currently support?

Hi,
Thank you for your answer. I am calling this function:

def get_user_details(username):
userobj = api.get_user(username)
return userobj

I have to work on a project to collect at least information about 1 000 000 users, using keywords to scrape. How can I increase the speed of the scraping?

Thank you
Alex

Use GET users/lookup | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform to request 100 user ids or screen names in every call. You get 900 calls in 15 minutes so with that you should be able to process 1,000,000 users in a few hours.
