Twitter API - Show Latest Tweet of Multiple Specified Users

I'm wondering if I can show the latest Tweet of multiple Twitter users specified by me.

This is what I have with the keys removed, they are indeed defined in my actual code:

<?php
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');

$settings = array(
    'oauth_access_token' => "",
    'oauth_access_token_secret' => "",
    'consumer_key' => "",
    'consumer_secret' => ""
);

$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json';
$getfield = '?user_id=McDonalds,Wendys,Dominos&count=1';
$requestMethod = 'GET';

$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$response = $twitter->setGetfield($getfield)->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)->performRequest();

echo '<pre>';
$response = var_dump(json_decode($response));

But it only outputs my latest Tweet. How can I make it so it outputs the latest Tweet of the specified users?

There are two ways to do this - neither is quite as simple as you want.

Firstly, you could request the user timeline for each user individually.

So call https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=McDonalds and then https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=Wendys and so on.

That might be slow. So, alternatively, you could create a list with all the users you want to follow.

Then you can use the List API to get all the recent tweets of those users.
