You're looking at the documentation for updating a Twitter user's profile image. From your question, I take it that you simply want to get this image. Remember a POST request is meant for creating new content, not simply GETting it.

Have a look at this:
https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/users/show

The users/show method provides various information about the user, including a link to the image with the key profile_image_url.

This answer should provide more detail to help you figure it out.
