Is there a way to increase the time out limit? actually i was hoping to get tones of tweets and i only get like 300

I wonder if you are reaching the limit of stored old tweets (about a week's worth). You would then timeout because there is nothing more to read. Can you tell me what your search terms are? Also, what is the time stamp ('created_at') for the last tweet you get before the timeout?

If you want to try increasing the timeout to see if that gets you more tweets, you can set the timeout in TwitterAPI/constants.py. The variable is REST_SOCKET_TIMEOUT.

I guess i just reached the limit of stored old tweets. Now, they are not enough for my research, it there other way to get older tweets? or is there an other data maining technic for twitter?

One again, thanks four your help

You can't get older tweets via Twitter's API. Your alternative is using a 3rd party, such as Topsy, that stores all tweets. Going forward, you can acquire the tweets using the Streaming API and store them for later research.
Good luck with your research!
