title: How to retrieve multiple tweets from tweet_id using R
body: <p>I am using the <strong>twitteR</strong> package in R to extract tweets based on their ids. 
  But I am unable to do this for multiple tweet ids without hitting either a rate limit or an error 404.
  This is because I am using the <strong>showStatus()</strong> - one tweet id at a time.
  I am looking for a function similar to  <strong>getStatuses()</strong> - multiple tweet id/request</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is there an efficient way to perform this action.</strong>
  I suppose only 60 requests can be made in a 15 minute window using the outh.</p>
  
  <p>So, how do I ensure :-
  1.<strong>Retrieve multiple tweet ids for single request thereafter repeating these requests.</strong>
  2.<strong>Rate limit is under check.</strong>
  3.<strong>Error handling for tweets not found.</strong></p>
  
  <p>P.S : This activity is not user based.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
