I've always wondered how promises like this are possible since twitters public API allows only partial access to the stream of tweets?

  Twitter offers real-time streams that filter by limited numbers of keywords, userids, and locations. https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/reference/post/statuses/filter https://dev.twitter.com/streaming/reference/post/statuses/fi...

    Yes, this is what I'm using. There are a handful of keywords and users that cover a meaningful range of interesting events.

    I have been using this "StreamAPI" for some time now, and I have been suffering of false positives all the time.

      How so? I'll probably be testing it soon for a new project.

        Sometimes it gives you data that is not relevant to your query. Example: I want tweets from user: @XYZ You think that you wont need to check, but you'd be wrong.
