Hi. If it would help. I just created a web app using http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/followers.json and made a loop using a variable delay time using http://api.twitter.com/1/account/rate_limit_status.json so as to avoid going over the limits. It allowed me to fetch approximately 15000 (100 per call) in 1 hour using unauthenticated requests.
