Load twitter posts from different users - ios

Question

Hi need to load twitter posts from different users.
I know how to load post from single user.
Perform request with search query FROM:<username>.
Do you know the way how to load posts from different users?
I tried something like this FROM:<username1>&&<username2> - but it doesn't work.
Any ideas?

You can make use of TwitterKit framework which is available in cocoapods GitHub - https://github.com/twitter/twitter-kit-ios/wiki/Access-Twitter's-REST-API
Cocoapods - https://cocoapods.org/pods/TwitterKit
Its twitter's own library, so you can always rely on that.
To load multiple tweets you need to use the below code
let client = TWTRAPIClient()
let tweetIDs = ["510908888888487103", "510908133777777104"]
client.loadTweets(withIDs: tweetIDs) { (tweets, error) -> Void in
// handle the response or error
}
If you want to to access other Twitter API endpoints, you can construct a request manually also like below
let client = TWTRAPIClient()
let statusesShowEndpoint = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/show.json"
let params = ["id": "20"]
var clientError : NSError?
let request = client.urlRequest(withMethod: "GET", url: statusesShowEndpoint, parameters: params, error: &clientError)
client.sendTwitterRequest(request) { (response, data, connectionError) -> Void in
if connectionError != nil {
print("Error: \(connectionError)")
}
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: [])
print("json: \(json)")
} catch let jsonError as NSError {
print("json error: \(jsonError.localizedDescription)")
}
}
Hope this one helps.

I found an approach. I have to use Twitter iOS SDK and TWTRAPIClient for performing the request. https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json is endpoint for getting tweets of certain user with some username.
NSURLRequest *r = [[TWTRAPIClient new] URLRequestWithMethod:#"GET"
URL:#"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json"
parameters:#{#"screen_name":name}
error:nil];
[[TWTRAPIClient new] sendTwitterRequest:r completion:^(NSURLResponse * _Nullable response, NSData * _Nullable data, NSError * _Nullable connectionError) {
if(data){
NSArray *tweets = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:nil];
[TWTRTweet tweetsWithJSONArray:tweets]
}
}];
