'Tweepy multiple auth handler when rate limit exceeded

I need to get lots of tweets in very short time and want to switch between multiple auth handlers(I have 20 different twitter developer account). I did not find anything related to this problem in Tweepy documentation and saw this method but it doesn't work, I'm not sure, I guess because of different API versin.

auths = []
for consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_key, access_secret in twitter_accs:
    auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
    auth.set_access_token(access_key, access_secret)
    auths.append(auth)

# api
api = tweepy.API(auths)
currentCursor = tweepy.Cursor(api.search, q = 'bitcoin')
c = currentCursor.items()

switch = 0
api.auth_idx = switch
tweets = []
maxId = 0

while True:
    try:
        for tweet in c:
            tweets.append(tweet)
            maxId = tweet.id

    except tweepy.TweepError as e:
        print(e)
        print("---------------------------Rate limit exceeded.---------------------------")
        print("switching keys...")
        switch += 1
        api.auth_idx = switch           # naechster Key
        currentCursor = tweepy.Cursor(api.search, q='bitcoin', max_id=maxId)

And got this error

According to the Tweepy documentation, the argument for the tweepy.API method can not be a list. Why don't you just create a list of authenticated api like you created a list of auths ?

Finally, be carefull because your attempt could be a violation of the Twitter developper terms.
