How to receive tweets addressed to the account in "live" mode?

Question

Java

As soon as a tweet arrives, you need to get it through the api. Is there any library to do this or does it have to check every n seconds for new tweets? And if you received this very tweet, then how to check that it is new, and not the one that also just processed?

Answer 1

You should look into User Streams or Site Streams depending on your usage pattern. To work directly with the API, you can use bindings

Answer 2

Read the API, if the site can provide notifications, then use it. Otherwise, only a request after n seconds, miracles do not happen.
