[twitter-dev] Re: User Streams goes Production, Site Streams adds Home Timelines
This is awesome. Anyone have a simple PHP example yet of working with User Streams? (Just want to use it for myself for now, to get familiar with it). Thanks.

Correction: The endpoint is https://userstream.twitter.com/2/user.json. User Streams is HTTPS only.

This parameter currently accepts two values: users or followings. Is it possible to get both users and followings at the same time? It seems as if you are saying if you don't provide the with parameter you will get the 'users' option with the user stream by default. If not are you allowed to open two user streams one for users and one for followings? It doesn't seem like the API documentation is updated yet and is the reason for this clarification.

Followings is additive to the Users. You can observe the behavior of these settings on userstream.twitter.com. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Twitter, Inc.
