This may be against twitter's ToS, but can you create a bunch of accounts with different API keys to access the api concurrently and get around the rate limits?

I'm sure twitter must account for this, but how do they? You don't need to provide much information to get an API key.

yeah no, they're explicitly not allowing this and as soon as this thing grew out of weekend-project scale, i have to adhere to any rules they're pushing out. too high a risk to be shut down and locked out completely.

What about re-using keys of your other registered users to handle the API requests of users with a lot of followers in parallel?
