Access public real time stream with user token #215

Open toto opened 12 years ago

toto commented 12 years ago

Accessing the public real time stream requires a app token at the moment.

This requirement basically excludes end user clients (native apps, JavaScript apps) from using this useful feature (e.g. to track hashtags in real time).

I think it would be very useful if the public streams can be accessed with a user token as well as an app token.

We'll put something together for this use case, but the current streaming implementation is not designed for it.
