How to get other user's mention timeline of twitter with twitter4j api?

Question

I'm struggling to get other user's mention timeline with twitter4j api. I could figure out that it's possible only to get other user's UserTimeline. It seems that there is no way to get other user's mention timeline (I found that here - lookup "Interface TimelinesResources")

Is there way to get other user's mention timeline ???

Answer 1

You can get the MentionsTimeline using getMentionsTimeline() method of TimelineResources as a link you mentioned with some limitations of number of tweets returned.

Find below example of the example which will give you MentionsTimeline.

Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory().getInstance();
try {
       User user = twitter.verifyCredentials();
       List<Status> statuses = twitter.getMentionsTimeline();
       System.out.println("Showing @" + user.getScreenName() + "'s mentions.");
       for (Status status : statuses) {
           System.out.println("@" + status.getUser().getScreenName() + " - " + status.getText());
       }
} catch (TwitterException te) {
       te.printStackTrace();
       System.out.println("Failed to get timeline: " + te.getMessage());
       System.exit(-1);
}
