You're sending too many requests from the same IP address, causing api.twitter.com to refuse the connection. There really isn't much you can do except try in a few minutes after the error.

[shaun-ba]

No, i'm not.

I'm sending one request per 4 hours. If i catch this error and retry 5seconds later it works just fine..

edit: where in my code do you see i'm making too many requests exactly?

[michaelhelmick]

@bitnumus didn't mean to close this, sorry! And I don't see you making too many requests. Is the error still occurring?

I could be twitter acting up?

I just tested this and had no issues :(

[shaun-ba]

No its happening every time, at the moment i'm catching the error and retrying, it succeeds on retry. As a guess could it be related to keepalive?

I also got this error if I run twython request from APScheduler. @bitnumus do you also use any scheduler or run twython in a thread?

[navchandar]

I just ran Twython for the first time and got this error.
