I need to embed a specific user’s recent tweets onto the home page of a website. The website is built in ASP.NET.

I’ve looked at the Twitter REST API and have tried using the user_timeline. It works but does not include mentions for the user. I want to include mentions but the only way to do it seems to be by using APIs that require authentication. I would prefer not to use authentication as it seems it would start to make things more complicated. I also do not want to get the current user to authenticate.

What is the best way to achieve this?

    Use the GET search API instead. Search for statuses containing the user’s @username, but in this case it will not return mentions from private/locked accounts since there’s no authentication.

    For example, if you want to search mentions for @stackexchange, call this.

    GET http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=@stackexchange
