@sharkey I think the issue may be that one of the people you follow follows ~600k people. The friends endpoint takes 15 requests every 15 minutes at 5000 friends per request, which is 75000 every window, so the rate limit will occur 8 times before all friends are collected for that user.
@sharkey Hey Nick. Thanks for your interest in twittercrawler. This does appear to be a bug. Could you send me the parameter values you used so I could try to reproduce this and see what's going on?
New post - introducing the twittercrawler R package, which lets you collect network data from Twitter. You can also get networks of subsets of users (e.g. users from NYC with "data scientist" in their profile description). #rstats

Working on a paper and felt like I was repeating certain words too many times. It didn't occur to me until today that there's a quick #rstats way of checking this!
