Hi, I am trying to retrieve the tweets from all 100K+ followers of a twitter account. Right now, I am able to retrieve tweets of 1500 followers every 15 mins before the rate limit is reached. However, it is taking a long time to iterate over 100K followers.
Is there a way to retrieve tweets of more than 1500 followers before the rate limit is reached?
Also, is there a way for this process to be finished in under 1-2 hours?
Thanks
What exact code are you running? What endpoints are you calling and with what parameters?
If time is the limiting factor you can try avoiding paginating in case that’s happening, so you get only the latest 200 tweets of each user (1 API call) and use both app only and user auth GET statuses/user_timeline | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform to get 2400 calls per 15 minutes. That should take around 10 or 11 hours for 100,000 users if nothing else slows you down. There is no way to go faster.
