Easy way of get users' twitterID and email?

lname14 · 2013-01-22T08:06:17.000Z

Hi,
Adding email address on my application’s interface means i have to create a form and take an email address from user OR is there any way to add such custom field in the login form your API is providing?

Thanks

I hope Twitter supports this feature. Please see my blog for my request.

you can use graph api to get email of your facebook account using fb api

Agree with the majority. Without email, I can’t use Twitter as a registration alternative.

if one cannot get the email using the oauth facility whats the point in that? you guys do know most of the apps today use the email address for user identification.

Did you find any solution for this?
I tried the same but it doesn’t work for me.

I want to create a module which will be “my website login and registration by using twitter login”. So I want to know, how to get user’s email address which will be help me to complete registration for that user. If twitter have not provided user’s email address then also please inform me.
Thanks.

No email returned?
Man, I don’t wanna live on this planet anymore.

The vast majority of Webapps use the email-address for identifying their users.
As already mentioned, this makes the Twitter-API pretty useless for authentication.
Yes, we could ask for the email-address within our applications but what’s the point of doing this?
The efford to the user would just be the same as if using the regular login/registration form.
For my Website I now go with Google and Facebook only.
Maybe one day, you Twitter-Devs will see sense…

Si twiter no devuelve los datos del usuario es una terrible porqueria. necesito el usuario y clave del usuario.

Thanks Tweeter for respecting users privacy.
I don’t care if Google or Facebook do that. Email is private and it should not be sent to third party sites even when we use their service to authenticate. The users don’t know the email will be sent.

What are you talking about? Just two different scopes, one with email and one without would be enough! Email belongs to user, not twitter, so it’s up to user to decide if (s)he wants to disclose it or not. The point is that users WILL KNOW if email is sent if they make this choice.
Two+ years developers are asking about this and Twitter redirect our words into > nul. That sucks as many people says. Sign in with twitter to get what? Twitter Id? And how do I know that user already exists in my app? Ask them for email? If so then why would I need all this sign in with twitter? To simplify login to my app? Come on!

It’s even worse. Say Bob signs up via twitter but gives me steve@example.com, i.e. not his email address. Then Steve signs up via twitter and tries his actual address steve@example.com. Steve is locked out because Bob stole it. Isn’t this one of the situations that external authentication services are supposed to prevent?
