Twitter Streaming without Keyword
<p>I'm trying to stream Twitter using Tweepy and I was wondering if it is possible to stream without giving a keyword? Therefore I would be able to stream all tweets instead of only ones with a given keyword. The code I'm following can be found here: <a href="https://gist.github.com/bonzanini/af0463b927433c73784d" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/bonzanini/af0463b927433c73784d</a> Someone commented saying that this isn't possible and I just wanted to double check that this is true or if there is a work around without having to buy the Firehose.</p>

<p>You can access a <em>sample</em> of all tweets by using this endpoint</p>

<p><code>https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/reference/get/statuses/sample</code></p>

<p>As is made clear in <a href="https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/reference/get/statuses/sample" rel="nofollow">the documentation</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Returns a small random sample of all public statuses. </p>
</blockquote>

<p>If you want <em>all</em> tweets then, yes, you need to pay for access.</p>

python twitter tweepy
