Hey @ilonabehn2 What error does it show when u r close to 50K followers? The logs u attached above are related to scraping, I need the logs for the errors. I just noticed, the logs are all over the place, I might remove the unnecessary logs soon.

Edit: The "results" KeyError is because of the rate limits.

Hey @ilonabehn2 Please use this build I will update the code soon.

Hello @ilonabehn2, I would like to know how you got the twitter_tokens.tt file. I am a currently doing a study that requires me to analyze some bias and I cannot afford the twitter api. (Thank you guys for the support in advance)

This package has been a big help. Thank you @iSarabjitDhiman
