I got this error at beginning the program starting to run. After couple of minutes, it can print the data. If I interrupt and restart the program, the error comes back.

You can find descriptions of the error codes here: https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/response-codes

420 implies that you are being rate limited. There are various reasons this can happen - perhaps your account is being used for some other Twitter API activity at the same time. Does it work better if you try a more specific query (something more specific than "data")? I haven't worked with the Twitter API recently, so I can't really offer more help than that.
