I'd like to request new feature for Extreme Picture Finder: support for rate limits. Currently Twitter restricts viewing and API access per day, making it difficult to download all the media. Updating the project doesn't help.
would it be possible to implement a feature that:
1. Detects rate limits and pauses/resumes downloads accordingly?
2. Allows users to customize request intervals to avoid hitting the limit?
3. Supports authentication for better access limits (e.g. using logged-incookies or API tokens)?

Yes, they do limit things for some reason :(I'd like to request new feature for Extreme Picture Finder: support for rate limits. Currently Twitter restricts viewing and API access per day, making it difficult to download all the media. Updating the project doesn't help.
How does one do that? I mean not even from a software point of view? How to see those limits? Is there a documentation for that somewhere?1. Detects rate limits and pauses/resumes downloads accordingly?
You can do that in the project properties, [ Site exploration - Options ] section, [ Delay between downloads ]:2. Allows users to customize request intervals to avoid hitting the limit?

You are supposed to sign in to your x.com account in the built-in browser before clicking the [ Continue download ] button. After that Extreme Picture Finder uses both cookies and API tokens from the built-in browser, so the authentication is supported.3.
