TweepError: Failed to send request:

[YRapyan]

This is my code:

query = '"covid vaccine" lang:en'

tweets = tweepy.Cursor(api.search,

                       q=query,

                       tweet_mode='extended',

                       ).items(100000)

json_data = [r._json for r in tweets]

I tried to scrape tweets with “covid vaccine” keyword but I got this error:

TweepError: Failed to send request: (‘Connection aborted.’, ConnectionResetError(104, ‘Connection reset by peer’))

I don’t think it’s a cause of unreliable internet connection, because I that error doesn’t show up when scraping data with other keys, I several things but nothing would seem to help.

1. tried to scrape data with 3 different networks
2. tried with LAN for more reliable connection
3. tried sleeping 5 seconds after every request

but nothing worked

How and where are you connecting from? It still seems like a Firewall / Network issue.

Hi! I´m using rtweet in R to extract tweets but today I get the following message:

"Warning: 89 - Invalid or expired token.
Warning message:
rate limit exceeded. mins until rate limit resets. "

I reset, update and by last, create a new token but still I get the same response. Any idea? help!

You shouldn’t reset your token after a rate limit error, the rate limit will still apply. The HTTP headers will contain the timestamp for when the rate limit resets (it’s 15 minute windows)

I’m connecting from Armenia with a LAN cable, I tried connecting to different networks and different internet providers, but every time I get the same result . When I scrape small amount of tweets(like 5000, or 10000) everything is ok, but when when I scrape 30000, 40000, or more the issue still remains
