title: How can I pull in a user's tweets using the new Twitter API v1.1?
body: <p>So I'm currently using this to pull in a certain number of tweets from a user:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void GetTweets(string username, int tweetCount)
  {
      var url = string.Format(
           "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name={0}&amp;count={1}", 
           username, tweetCount);
      XDocument xml = XDocument.Load(url);
  
      // parse xml
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With the new API version, this will no longer be allowed, I'll have to send a GET request with JSON: <a href="https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline" rel="nofollow">https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline</a></p>
  
  <p>Where I get lost is with needing to be authenticated with OAuth. Do I need a Twitter account for this? I've looked around for an example or tutorial of doing this with .NET and haven't been able to find anything, just links back to the twitter dev page for v1.1</p>
  
  <p>Can someone guide me in the right direction?</p>
