Which API to use to receive tweets from friends after UserStream API deprecation?

[fieldemser]

Hi, I am trying to figure out what the appropriate API is to receive tweets from users I follow?

I thought at first it’d be the new account activity API. I am using C# tweetinvi to connect. However it seems like in order to get tweets from my friends I need their tokens to subscribe. Is my understanding correct here? This is not really feasible if you want to follow, ie Bloomberg.

I tried to subscribe to other user accounts that I do not manage and I receive nothing - only the Twitter account I control receives events.

This makes me think that this is not the correct API to use. Is there an alternative streaming API?

Your understanding is correct.

You should look into the Get Tweet timelines section of our docs for more details on the APIs that will satisfy your use case.
