Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API and lists

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

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.
