If it's Twitter they have a JS SDK which is easy to use.
If it's anything else you need to register yourself in the developers site for each and ask for an API key.
Then tweak the permissions or implementation around this APIs with what you can reach.

So it's not possible to get an RRSS feed using open source nor for free (they are free unless you reach a certain amount of requests) and of course you need someone to code your implementation.

There are generic tools as plugins for wordpress and many others that lets you customise that but you'll need to register and set the API key at a minimum least.

Of course to get the API keys you'll need to set up a billing address and credit card just in case you surpass the free API quota or make use of "premium" features.

Best regards.
