I’m sure there's a way to do it but Twitter dropped RSS/Atom support from their API in 2012 [1], so it would require scraping or using some sort of other endpoint-managed control of the feed. There have historically been usage limits on how many tweets you could retrieve without paying, but I’m not sure how much that has changed since Twitter overhauled its API last year.
It’s a shame that many of the tools and features we had a decade ago no longer exist, not because of technology, but because of decisions social networks made for business reasons to eschew open standards and create their own walled gardens.

- Fogest 6y agoIt all comes down to ads. Twitter can't show ads so easily via API's. I think I even remember Twitter considering sticking ads in batches of tweets pulled from the API. Can't recall if they did it or not or if I'm misremembering.
