lookup_friendships stops collecting info

[MAGALLANESJoseManuel]

I am using the function lookup_friendships() with a list of more than 500 pairs of users.
It stops collecting the info after 180 pairs. I guess I need to configure the retryOnLimit somewhere.. can you please help?

There is no retryonratelimit option for that function call to the API.

You'll need to create your own by looping and using the rate_limit() function.

Do you an example on the use of ratelimits() function?

[Arf9999]

If you use this to control a loop:

rl <- rtweet::rate_limit( query = "lookup_friendships")

It'll give you the option to see how many requests remain until ratelimit is reached. Max is 15, Each request will surface 12 pairs. So you'll need to divide your list of accounts by (15 * 12 = 180)

It also lets you know when the rate limit will be reset, so you can pause between loops:

sys.Sleep(as.numeric(rl[1, "reset"] *60)
