If you are not using a private instance of webpagetest and run webpagetest test http://twitter.com/marcelduran and get a 400 error it means you don't have your API KEY setup. Request one at http://www.webpagetest.org/getkey.php
Also if you want the latest nodejs and npm:
On Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS (I know it's not exactly 14.10) as of this writing, will only install nodejs v0.10.25 using sudo apt-get install nodejs by default. If you want the current version, v0.10.35, you can use nodesource's debian/ubuntu binaries. The installation is very simple:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -
To install NodeSource repo. Then you can install or upgrade nodejs through apt-get as usual, example:
sudo apt-get upgrade nodejs
After this you may notice when running npm -v that you have v1.4.28 only. So then you do
sudo npm install npm -g
to get you npm v2.1.18. And then finally get webpagetest-api using the following
sudo npm install webpagetest -g
