Were you able to figure out one? I am searching for the same thing

    while True:
        while keepGoing:
            followers, cursor, keepGoing = client.get_followers(user=account,
                                                                count=750,
                                                                use_api=True,
                                                                deep_scrape=False,
                                                                callback_frequency=50,
                                                                end_cursor=cursor)

            i += len(followers)
            print(i)
            follower_list += followers
        print("Rate limit for ", login, " at ", datetime.datetime.now())
        time.sleep(600)
        
        That is what my code looks like. I added a 3rd return value to get_followers() that returns False if rate limit is reached. This look like yours?

I just now realized the question is for this library I will check my code and will send it to you I think I ask the question before I find the way to scrape big amount of followers

[schaumju]

That would be amazing if you could. Thank you!

@mikegrep Do you have an idea when you'd be able to send the code? I'm still getting stuck with some things with this library. I appreciate all the help!
