    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.

    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.
