Is it possible to fetch (through twitter's API) specific user's data (like follower's id, or following user's id) without involve the user itself? I look forward to build twitter data miner but every tutorial i read involves end-users and pin authentication.

Yes. Try Application-only authentication
.
Get your keys and store it in a separate file. Then use a streaming api & write a code to fetch what are all the data's you want (like follower's id, name etc..) & make that file to run as a background service that runs all the time.
Hope it helps!
