Get user email with oauth 2

[dylanthelion]

How do I retrieve the email address of a signed-in user? I’ve been whitelisted for email, and updated my app settings, but my user object still comes back without an email entry. Is there a separate call for emails?

I’m running a node.js server, with the node-twitter-api module, and have successfully completed the oauth login flow.

Yes there is a separate call for email information - check the verify_credentials documentation on dev.twitter.com for the syntax.

FOUND IT. I’m currently making dinner, and may not get to this tomorrow, so I will assume that this is the piece I was missing, and say THANKS!, now.

And it indeed works!

In case you encounter somebody else who is using the node twitter module, the proper use, once your app has been set up, looks like:

            var params = {
                'include_email' : true
            };

           twitter.verifyCredentials(accessToken, accessSecret, params, function(err, user)....

The module takes the dict passed in the third parameter and adds it appropriately, or ignores it if there are only 3 params.

Thanks again!
