Hi computerzworld, You probably don't need whitelisting and should rethink your implementation instead. Using multiple accounts is not the right answer to get around rate limits, unless those accounts represent users engaged in your service and you are acting directly on their behalf.
The quickest path to outputting a list of friends and followers to a CSV file is using the friends/ids and followers/ids API methods. For most users, each of these methods will require a single request. You then pipeline those results into users/lookup, which allows you to get the equivalent of users/show for up to 100 user ids at a time. With this pipeline, you can certainly provide CSVs of followers and followings for the majority of your users within 350 requests. If it would take more than 350 requests it's a very exceptional situation. The answer to that situation is not whitelisting. It's recognizing that some of your users will take longer to process than others. They might not get their CSV within an hour.
