I started exploring tweepy a couple days ago and was able to stream filtered (with keywords) tweets at real time. Now I want to stream not only filtered tweets but also tweets from several specific twitter users. Is this possible by using tweepy? It seems stream.userstream() only fetches real-time tweets from my twitter account NOT from other specific users, right? I have tried it with another twitter account that I created for testing but it does not fetch any new tweets that I tweeted, at all.
But if it works, can I download tweets using stream.userstream() and stream.filter() at the same time? If not then how can I get both filtered tweets and users' real time tweets?
Btw I used the example code from @alexhanna.
api = tweepy.API(auth)def main( mode = 1 ):follow = []track = ['Houston Rockets','Lakers','Chicago Bulls']listen = SListener(api, 'test')stream = tweepy.Stream(auth, listen)try: stream.userstream('NBA','ESPN') stream.filter(track = track, follow = follow)except: print "error!" stream.disconnect()Would really appreciate your help! Thanks.
