Streaming multiple tweets - from multiple users? - Twitter API

I have a big list of Twitter users stored in a database, almost 1000.

I would like to use the Streaming API in order to stream tweets from thes开发者_JAVA百科e users, but I cannot find an appropriate way to do this.

Help would be very much appreciated.

According to the Twitter API documentation, you can only use the streaming API to follow up to 400 users. For more than that, you'll have to request an increased access level for the account you use to access the API.

You can track 400 filter words and 5000 userids via streaming api. Filter words can be something apple, orange, ipad etc... And in order to track any user's timeline you need to get the user's twitter user id.
