Hi all,
Noob. For a beginner project I'm hacking together a Twitter bot with tweepy.
I've got one more or less functional, but I'm running into a problem
when making a list of followers by calling the Twitter api. I'm getting
a 'Rate limit exceeded' error, which, evidently is due to changes in the
Twitter api not allowing one to make more than a certain number of
calls. I think 150 at a time. I have more than 150 followers in the
account.
My code is:
for follower in tweepy.Cursor(api.followers).items():
follower_ids.append(follower.id <http://follower.id>)
My question is: how do I grab the first 'x' items in
tweepy.Cursor(api.followers)items(), say 15 or 20, without looping
through the entire list of items, which then gives me the error.
You could create a slice on the items() return value (assuming its a
list or similar...
limit = 20
for follower in tweepy.Cursor(api.followers).items()[:limit]:
follower_ids.append(follower.id <http://follower.id>)
