Is it possible to directly retrieve statuses from a public twitter list using the API?

I've been trying to fetch the statuses from a list (public list), but I could not find any specific method in the twitter api documentation from this. The way to fetch tweets开发者_JAVA百科 from a list, is described as going through the user (the creator of the list) and fetching the statuses then, something like http://api.twitter.com/version/:user/lists/:id/statuses.format

Is there no direct way to get the statuses from a public list...something like maybe http://api.twitter.com/version/:list_id/statuses.format or http://api.twitter.com/version/lists/:id/statuses.format

This might be a trivial question, but would certainly help eliminating the user dependency

Sorry, but a list is maintained by a user, and you must reference it in the context of the user that created the list, like so:

http://api.twitter.com/1/dotnetdevbuzz/lists/source-users/statuses.json?page=1

where dotnetdevbuzz is the user, and source-users is the list slug.

At least you don't have to be authenticated in order to get the most recent statuses from the list members.
