We are using twitter follow api https://api.twitter.com/2/users/user_id/following to follow the twitter account, what is the users app limit in the api and what we can do to exceed the limit? My api is giving me 429 even after few hours of trial, what is the way to recover the limit? What are the plans to exceed the limit?
Twitter user account limits are documented here. Bulk or aggressive / inorganic following is not permitted under the automation rules.
What volumes of follows are you trying to achieve?
We are creating a marketing campaign for that the user has to follow the twitter brand account in order to get rewards in our app, so we are using twitter follow api https://api.twitter.com/2/users/user_id/following to follow a twitter account, after some requests we have faced the 429 status from api, and we want to request 10k to 20k requests per marketing campaign. Is there any way to increase follow limits?
No, unfortunately there are no ways to increase these rate limits.

Hi, sorry for reopen an old post, I’m also using the follow API and facing the same issue. I don’t know exactly how to increase the rate limit or how to develop a more robust system to do it, but I found a tool called twtData that basically in some way they are doing what we want (They can provide you a followers report from a 1M followers account in 38min). @andypiper Do you have any idea on how they are doing this?
