Rate limit exceeded with Twitter4j

Question

I'm using this example for pulling tweets from Twitter. I am getting the error below due to rate limit reached. How do I set the rate?

429:Returned in API v1.1 when a request cannot be served due to the application's rate limit having been exhausted for the resource. See Rate Limiting in API v1.1.(https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting/1.1)
message - Rate limit exceeded
code - 88

Answer 1

There's many ways to avoid being Rate Limited:

• You can adapt the search results :

If your application monitors a high volume of search terms, query less often for searches that have no results than for those that do. By using a back-off you can keep up to date on queries that are popular but not waste cycles requesting queries that very rarely change. Alternatively, consider using the The Streaming APIs and filter on your search terms.

• Store API responses in your application or on your site if you expect a lot of use.
• Prioritize active users ...
