If this is for an iPhone app, it's likely you don't need to deal with the streaming API or the complexity of authentication at all.
Occasional unauthenticated requests to a specific public user's timeline is probably most appropriate in this case. For instance, to get the ~5 most recent tweets and retweets by the musician Mike Doughty just issue a HTTP GET request: GET http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?count=5&include_entities=true&include_rts=true&screen_name=Mike_Doughty_ Keep in mind that our count parameters are really "up to" parameters, and you may get less than the specified count back. Unauthenticated requests are limited to 150 per hour per IP address, so you'll want to stay conservative with these requests in an unauthenticated context. @episod <http://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=episod> - Taylor Singletary On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 2:13 PM, Greg Passmore <gregp...@gmail.com> wrote: > Look at the User Streams api or the Search API.
