我正在尝试获取前一天的所有推文。为了解决 Twitter 的速率限制,我实现了两组代码。
if counter == 4000:
time.sleep(60*20) # wait for 20 min every time 4,000 tweets are extracted
counter == 0
continue
我查看了输出文件,通常当我提取了大约 5500-6500 个推文实体时,我会收到速率限制消息。所以为了保守起见,我设置每次提取 4000 条推文(以及相关的提取字段)时,我将其暂停 20 分钟(以覆盖 Twitter 指定的 15 分钟间隔)。
我还发现其他人尝试使用以下代码解决相同的问题:
except tweepy.TweepError:
time.sleep(60*20)
continue
它应该在出现 TweepError 时暂停脚本,我测试了它,但它似乎不起作用,但我还是包含了它。
我得到的错误(提取 10,700 个推文实体后)如下:
