Ha!

No. Off hand, it'd require batching the users into groups of 100 and using an API call (/users/lookup) for each group. That gives you a user object each (which you don't care about), but also the latest tweet.

The limit is 180/15 mins, ie a max of 18k in any 15 minute window.

Thanks!

That beats my first naive attempt, which was an API call (/statuses/user_timeline/<id>.json?count=1) per user.

Hmm, I just noticed there was also (now deprecated) GET statuses/friends which did what I want. It is deprecated in favour of your suggestion.
