Want to use API without OAuth Authentication

I want to use http://api.twitter.com/1/blocks/create.json?screen_name=xxxxxxx (Twitter API) to block particular friends or followers from my account with the use of Twitter & Account Framework in iOS 5,

So what should i do to solve this issue, because i just want to use Twitter account , don't want to use OAuth.

It generate an error like : HTTP/1.1 401 API is secure. Needs security Credentials

Actually you need to put parameters of post requests in the body. This is described in the OAuth tool description under Request query:

This tool is available on the right of every rest API documentation page like this if you are logged in

You can use apigee console for twitter to test it but you will get the same error unless you include the screen_name parameter in the body

The Twitter API requires OAuth authentication. However, if you're happy with targeting iOS 5 and up you can use the in-built Twitter framework to perform the OAuth calculations on your behalf, which will save you a lot of time. Take a look at the documentation for TWRequest:
