to alleviate hitting the rate limit can you pull tweets using https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=TWEET_ID ?

then pull age restricted tweets using user account info?

It looks like this would no longer be necessary but thank you for the idea.
Perhaps this might be useful in the future.
