I want to use twitter api without authentication.
Is it possible?
For example, I am going to get the user profile for certain user.
Can I get his user profile without authentication?

  1. User authentication is mandatory. You also need to create a customer account and use the authentication for that.

    You will also need to deal with api rate limiting by adding a small sleep time of around 60 seconds.

  2. All Twitter API calls require the use of OAuth and a registered application with consumer key and token. They also require HTTPS.

    A small number of API endpoints can be called without the use of a user context (“application-only” authentication). You can call the users/show.json endpoint with application-only authentication using a bearer token and no user context, but that will only work for public Twitter profiles, not protected ones.
