Hi arpitnot4u,

as the error message states, your rate limit is exceeded. You can only perform a limited number of requests:

Search will be rate limited at 180 queries per 15 minute window for the time being

Source: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/rate-limiting

Please adjust your retweet.py calls accordingly (crontab, sleep, ..) and consider other applications/scripts using API credentials.

Regards,

Hi,

I'm executing this code for the first time with no last save point and hence as Line 37 in retweet.py ( https://github.com/basti2342/retweet-bot/blob/master/retweet.py#L37 ) says "No savepoint found. Trying to get as many results as possible."

Hence I guess in this case retweet.py should limit the number of calls.

Or kindly let me know the alternative.

Hello, I'm having the same issue, and there is no information on how to stop the script before it hits the limit and iterate through what it already got. Trying to start it for the first time, no savefile.

You might consider noting in the description that this project is not compatible with Python 3.*

Exactly same issue as above ^

Did anyone resolve this?

[steffanjensen]

same problem here can we resolve this?

[maitrey0da]

same problem here too

I have no idea how we should limit the calls. If you have one, please propose it. Until then we will run into the rate limit.
