safe_lookup_users: Safely lookup Twitter users
In alexpghayes/socialsampler: Tools to facilitate sampling Twitter data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

safe_lookup_users() is a drop-in replacement for rtweet::lookup_users() that automatically respects Twitter API rate limits and coordinates use of multiple Twitter access tokens that have been registered with register_token(). At the moment you can only request the friends list of 15 or fewer users in a single call.

1	safe_lookup_users(users, attempts = 5)

`users`	User id or screen name of target user.
`attempts`	How many times should we attempt to access the Twitter API before giving up? Defaults to 5.

If no tokens have been registered with socialsampler, safe_lookup_users() will look for a token registered with rtweet and use that token instead, again automatically respecting rate limits. If no tokens have been registered with either socialsampler or rtweet, you'll get an error.

A tibble of users data.
