How can it be counted if no api key is used? Do you mean its counted against the ip address?

Dmitri, I believe such request still counts against your usage limit.

Sorry to bother you, but I found out that this feature is already available Turns out I can easily get user's profile as json or xml without using oAuth or API Very simple, like this: http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show/MythBusters.json This is just great!
