The
Sample API
returns a small random sample of all public statuses. The Tweets returned by the default access level are the same, so if two different clients connect to this endpoint, they will see the same Tweets.
The default access level allows up to 400 track keywords, 5,000 follow user Ids and 25 0.1-360 degree location boxes.
