As Twitter **discontinues supporting** Stream API, RainbowStream's stream function has been stopped working for a long time. But here is a good new, from version 1.5.0 we switched to a Polling Strategy that using the `home` command to check for every 90 seconds. Notes that rate limit for `home` command itseld is 15 times per 15 minutes, so don't abuse it too much to leave space for the polling stream :) + +If you are interested in detail: https://github.com/orakaro/rainbowstream/issues/271 + +Rainbow Stream +-------------- + +.. image:: http://img.shields.io/pypi/l/rainbowstream.svg?style=flat-square + :target: https://github.com/DTVD/rainbowstream/blob/master/LICENSE.txt + +.. image:: http://img.shields.io/pypi/v/rainbowstream.svg?style=flat-square + :target: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rainbowstream + +Terminal-based Twitter Client.
