Important

The Twitter API has a low rate-limited, so depending on how many people you follow could take a longer time. The script handles it in two ways:

  1. creating a cache folder, so when you rerun the script will skip the accounts that already visited
  2. Automatically waiting 15 minutes after receive a rate-limited error from the API.
