oauth while learning various twitter methods

I'm experimenting with this method "users lookup" from the T开发者_开发问答witter API. Is there any way I can directly type the url in the browser and see the results? I am logged into Twitter, but I get the error message "basic authentication is not supported" when I type http://api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.xml?user_id=12863272,3191321,9160152,8285392 (this is from their documentation page). What do I need to do to experiment with the API?

There are four three options:

Option 1.

Write an application you can use to talk to twitter.

Option 2.

Use cUrl with a lot copy and pasting.

Option 3.

Option 4.

Apigee has a great console for playing around with the Twitter API (among others).

Here is an example for /users/lookup.
