tweepy (python): rate limit exceeded code 88

Question

I\'m writing a Twitter application with tweepy that crawls up the tweets by looking at in_reply_to_status_ID. Everything works fine up to the rate limit, after a few minute

Answer 1

I put a limit and worked:

def index(request):
    statuses = tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline).items(10)
    return TemplateResponse(request, 'index.html', {'statuses': statuses})

Answer 2

This is due to you reached max limit. Just disconnect your internet connection and reconnect again, no need to wait. Use cursor:

statuses = tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline).items(2)

If you get the error again, just reduce items.
