I have the same issue.

[udovicic]

It is probably the rate limit problem, use --rate 1 as parameter. It will be a lot slower, but a lot more efficient.

I actually ended up figuring out that the api was raising an error along the lines of “too many requests for this url”

Changing the rate will probably fix it. Thanks dude

Same issue, --rate 1 wont fix it.
