Since we are here does anyone have idea about how to schedule 1000 calls per day?

Background task:

I am building a service to send twitter messages daily. The limit of Twitter API is I can't send more than 1000 messages so I have to limit the call in the backend.

The closet solution I found that is I schedule a celery beat background task exactly 3 minutes and I call the Twitter API 2 times per task so daily it can send upto 960 messages in 24-hour window.

So I am still finding the solution to make this happen. Suggestion welcome.

Why not just schedule the task for every 86 seconds and count how many times you've done it so you stop at 1,000?
