Stop before downloading all tweets #288

Closed stagenam3 closed 4 years ago

No matter how short the time period I put, I always get "has_more_tweets". Username stops at 688 tweets Scrapes on words stop at around 12 500 tweets. Any workaround would be appreciated. Thanks!

Twitter has a limitation on number of tweets you can retrieve from a user profile. There is a workaround with the -j option in this PR https://github.com/taspinar/twitterscraper/commit/8786a5789f8686d4022f14ff44b7ffd86a5abd11

Closing because this is a duplicate of https://github.com/taspinar/twitterscraper/issues/305
