I have to manually visit the authentication link and copy-paste the verifier pin in terminal. Isn't consumer_key and consumer_secret enough to authenticate these whole process?

Do I need an elevated access to do it?

The consumer key and secret identify your app. This is OK for read-only functions like getting a public Tweet, or searching for Tweets. For functions where you need to post, you will need additional values that enable your app to post as an authenticated user.

The PIN-based approach enables the code to do the sign-in and get a usable pair of access token and access token secret. If you were coding this yourself, you could build the sign-in flow and cache/save the access token and access token and secret. This code is just a single example to demonstrate one method of getting tokens to enable you to post a Tweet.
