Thanks for the reply. So as i understand it i am not being rate
limited, it just doesn't find any results to return for the specific
keywords. In that case should i wait for the amount of time specified
on the Retry-after field to make a new search? If i don't wait will
that lead to my ip getting blacklisted or it will just not return
accurate search results? Thanks in advance.

have observed that sometimes some of the keywords get a 420 code? Any
ideas why is this happening?
You get a 420 NOT USED when a search term hasn't been used recently
where the recently is whatever small timeframe (sometimes 7 days,
often less) is currently available in the search index.
I get it all the time for things like #stlcards :)
