title: Twython Rate Limit Issue
body: <p>I am wondering how I can automate my program to fetch tweets at the max rate of 180 requests per 15 minutes, which is equivalent to the max count of 100 per request totaling 18,000 tweets. I am creating this program for an independent case study at school.</p>
  
  <p>I would like my program to avoid being rate limited and end up being terminated. So, what I would like it to do is constantly use the max number of requests per 15 minutes and be able to leave it running for 24 hours without user interaction to retrieve all tweets possible for analysis.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code. It gets tweets of query and puts it into a text file but eventually gets rate limited. Would really appreciate the help</p>
  
  <pre><code>import logging
  import time
  import csv
  import twython
  import json
  
  app_key = ""
  app_secret = ""
  oauth_token = ""
  oauth_token_secret = ""
  
  twitter = twython.Twython(app_key, app_secret, oauth_token, oauth_token_secret)
  
  tweets = []
  MAX_ATTEMPTS = 1000000
  # Max Number of tweets per 15 minutes
  COUNT_OF_TWEETS_TO_BE_FETCHED = 18000 
  
  for i in range(0,MAX_ATTEMPTS):
  
      if(COUNT_OF_TWEETS_TO_BE_FETCHED &lt; len(tweets)):
      break
  
      if(0 == i):
          results = twitter.search(q="$AAPL",count='100',lang='en',)
  
      else:
          results = twitter.search(q="$AAPL",include_entities='true',max_id=next_max_id)
  
      for result in results['statuses']:
          print result
  
          with open('tweets.txt', 'a') as outfile:
               json.dump(result, outfile, sort_keys = True, indent = 4)
  
      try:
          next_results_url_params = results['search_metadata']['next_results']
          next_max_id = next_results_url_params.split('max_id=')[1].split('&amp;')[0]
      except:
  
          break
