[twitter-dev] Streaming API and lists
Hello there, Does anyone knows if it's possible to use the streaming api to follow a list instead of a user? I already tried using the list id as the follow parameter with no success... Regards, Thiago Souza
Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API and lists
If everyone on the list is public, you can fetch the user ids via REST, then use follow. Protected accounts won't show, of course. Also, on User Streams, you cannot specify your follow list. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Twitter, Inc.

Hi Thiago, The streaming API allows you to follow user IDs and track keywords but not lists directly. Instead you need to follow all the user IDs of the list and then assemble their Tweets on your server to recreate the list. Hope that helps, Matt On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 8:39 AM, thiago tcostaso...@gmail.com wrote: Hello there, Does anyone knows if it's possible to use the streaming api to follow a list instead of a user?

[twitter-dev] Streaming API for lists
Hey there! I wanted to know if Twitter will integrate lists into the streaming API. Thx.
Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API for lists
We were planning to do lists, but we postponed the feature to get the bulk of User Streams to market sooner and to also get User Streams out to more users. We'll consider lists as an add-on later. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc. On Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 4:13 AM, sexyprout abom...@gmail.com wrote: Hey there!
