The application must have an interface to submit a twitter profile url and a ProxyCrawl API token, after submission, it should display as much information as you want to display from that profile page. The information must be crawled using the ProxyCrawl Crawling API.
All crawled profile information must be stored in the project as json files, one file per profile.
