Hi Rushikesh, You're asking a few things here, so I'll try to help clear them up:
- Your app will need to do some kind of authentication for each of the users. If your application is a web application, and you plan to have more than just the two users you've mentioned, you'll want to implement the entire OAuth 1.0a flow: request token acquisition, sending the user to Twitter's authentication page, and then exchanging the request token for an access token. You would then use the access token for each member to make API calls. If the pool of users for your application will not go beyond the two you mentioned, you might find yourself better served by applying for a one-time use of xAuth to exchange your login credentials for access tokens. If you're building a desktop or mobile application, you will want to use either the OAuth 1.0A PIN/oauth_verifier flow or use xAuth. - Rate limiting is communicated through HTTP headers in the responses you get from the API server. See http://dev.twitter.com/pages/rate-limiting - You can also use the http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_statusend point to query on rate limits. When using an access token in the request, the response will indicate the rate limit status for the user represented by that access token. If you aren't using an access token, it will indicate the rate limit for the IP address.
