Cant get more than 600 tweets using tweepy search api

Question

noofitem = 1000 tweets = tweepy.Cursor(api.search,q=['#iphone11, -filter:retweets'],since='2019-11-14',lang='en',tweet_mode='extended',retweeted=False).items(noofitem) i = [tweet.full_text for tweet in tweets] #Tweet text

I am trying to get about 1000 tweets using tweepy. But the max tweets I get are around 600. Changing the date does not work. Any modification or other workarounds will be helpful. Thanks.

Please note that Twitter's search service and, by extension, the Search API is not meant to be an exhaustive source of Tweets. Not all Tweets will be indexed or made available via the search interface.

Please refeer to this link for more information: http://docs.tweepy.org/en/latest/api.html#help-methods

Probably you will need to set up a Stream to get the ammount of data you need.
