BR, Zhu It is unlikely that you will get blacklisted.

No. You have to make a call for each user and merge them on your own side. Alternatively you can use the Streaming API: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation#statuses/filter BR, Zhu On Dec 26, 3:05 am, Raffi Krikorian ra...@twitter.com wrote: hi zhu. one way would be to create a twitter account that follows all those users, and then callhttp:// apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-home_t... your own user. alternatively, if you don't want to have a twitter account, then you can call http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-user_t... for each of the users you are interested in, and merge the results yourself.

I am going to try both. thanks, abraham and Raffi. additionally, could you guys help me consider such case? in my app, I need to fetch the tweets from about 400+ accounts to fullfill the table in the firstly launch( it's an iphone app actually). how to avoid blacklisted by server for the suddenly flood of api call? the user_timeline should fit my requirements but I am still a little concern about the performance and server's reaction even if I cache server response.

one more question about :http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API- Method%3A-statuses-user_timeline there is a user_id param in it. can I use it like this: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?user_id=1401881user_id=another first user id..user_id=400th user id? if can, that should be the best way for both client and server who just need to construct a long query.
