Twitter API - Get a user's hashtags

Is it possible to use the Twitter API to get a list of all hashtags the user has ever used in their tweets?

For example, with the result:

["#LikeOMG", "#NeedToKnow", "#hashtag"  ... ]

Not directly, no. The easiest thing to do is download a User's Timeline.

Note:

This method can only return up to 3,200 of a user’s most recent Tweets

In each Tweet, you will be able to extract the hashtag from the entities field. From there, depending on which programming language you're using, you can create a unique array.
