I am trying to pull LIVE tweets from selected user from Twitter users. ‘statuses/user_timeline.json’ API endpoint retrieving all the tweets of user but I wan't to filter only tweets which are currently LIVE.

So is there any way to retrieve only LIVE tweets of specific twitter user?

Yes. First, get the most recent tweet from this user using statuses/user_timeline, and save the tweet's id. Then, on some interval that does not exceed the rate limit, request statuses/user_timeine again but with the since_id parameter set to the id that you saved.

Here is Twitter's doc: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/timelines/api-reference/get-statuses-user_timeline.html
