x-rate-limit

[muhmad-f-k]

Hello,

Is it possible to retrieve these fields? I’ve checked, but I can’t find any information on how to access these values each time tweets are retrieved. If it’s possible, could they be included? This would greatly help in managing the rate limit.

Fields:

x-rate-limit-limit: 50
x-rate-limit-remaining: 48
x-rate-limit-reset: 1731259969

I'm able to access the headers and x-rate-limit-reset field through the exceptions class (looked through code in twikit/twikit/errors.py), but at this point x-rate-limit-remaining would always be 0. Maybe this code snippet could help somewhat? It would definitely be helpful to be able to see the x-rate-limit-remaining variable though

from twikit.errors import TooManyRequests

try:
    more_tweets = await tweets.next()
except TooManyRequests as e:
    print(f"Request limit reached.")
    if e.headers:
         print(f"Header information: {e.headers}")
    if e.rate_limit_reset:
         print(f"Rate limit reset variable: {e.rate_limit_reset}")

> Request limit reached.
> Header information: {...'x-rate-limit-limit': '50', 'x-rate-limit-reset': '1731020128', 'x-rate-limit-remaining': '0',...}
> Rate limit reset variable: 1731020128

Hi @rainacao , Thank you -
yes only when hit rate limit you can get thos values wich then late - will be nice to get thos value and avoid rate limit

here is the class

class TooManyRequests(TwitterException):
"""
Exception raised for 429 Too Many Requests errors.
"""
def init(self, *args, headers: dict | None = None) -> None:
super().init(*args, headers=headers)
if headers is not None and 'x-rate-limit-reset' in headers:
self.rate_limit_reset = int(headers.get('x-rate-limit-reset'))
else:
self.rate_limit_reset = None

is there a rule of thumb when that limit is reached? like if I only check for fresh tweets of one user once a minute and most of the time I'll receive nothing a sthis person didn't tweet, is it gonna still hit the limit because of the requests?

Yes- A request always count if you get repons or not!:)
