Twitter Streaming API limits? : <p>I understand the Twitter REST API has strict request limits (few hundred times per 15 minutes), and that the streaming API is sometimes better for retrieving live data. </p>

<p>My question is, what exactly are the streaming API limits? Twitter references a percentage on their docs, but not a specific amount. Any insight is greatly appreciated. </p>

<p>What I'm trying to do: </p>

<ul>
<li>Simple page for me to view the latest tweet (&amp; date / time it was posted) from ~1000 twitter users. It seems I would rapidly hit the limit using the REST API, so would the streaming API be required for this application? </li>
</ul>
