Dear Heather,
maybe you could use Facepager: https://github.com/strohne/Facepager
The app is developed for people like you, to help learning how to use APIs for research purposes. It supports a lot of APIs, e.g. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube. You can use your own API keys if you want. It helps you with the rate limits. There is a wiki with some quick getting started tutorials and a Facebook group for further help: https://github.com/strohne/Facepager/wiki
Disclosure: I am one of the developers of Facepager, but without any commercial interests.
Cheers, Jakob

Hello Esteemed Internet Researchers,
My name is Heather Walker and I am a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois at Chicago. For my dissertation project, I am taking a netnographic approach looking at Twitter and Instagram data. I applied for access to the Twitter API via their developer site, was approved, and now have an access key. I've been trying to learn Python by taking free online courses and watching a million youtube videos. However, I hit a snag every time and usually can't figure out how to fix it.
I also have been using DiscoverText (incredible tool), but have already exceeded the data limit, making continued data collection there impossible.
I am reaching out via this listserv to see if there are any lovely researchers with experience using the Twitter API to aggregate data who may be willing to mentor me? I am working on several manuscripts right now using Twitter data, so can offer co-authorship through the partnership. My interests and collected data thus far revolve around disability, rights, access, and civic participation, diabetes cultural groups, social movements using hashtags, and social movement hijacking.
I am also hoping some of you might know about any potential United-States based workshops that provide hands-on training using big-data digital methods?
Thank you for your consideration and shared resources.
Cheers!
Heather Walker
