i was interested in add twitter, facebook and custom registration, but twitter its a little bit complicated and dont give me access to the mail, so i did a research on how many app’s (in my iphone) offer to register with twitter… and the result is no one, hence i will change the twitter option to google+. you said “just ask for it” i say “keep loosing developer’s”
+1 ‘you said “just ask for it” i say “keep loosing developer’s”’
I can’t believe it’s been so long and this problem is not solved, most database uses an email address as a way of identifying the user. Twitter make this a huge problem especially if you want you users to sign in with any third party with ease. Just asking for the email address defies the whole point of a one step sign in like twitter. It is suppose to get this information in the background so the user doesn’t have to type it. Can’t believe it twitter.
Ditto, this is stupid. Add a permissions based system on your API page. You already ask “read only, write only, or find post” as the possible options. Add a “request email” option. How hard is that? Then the user will get prompted for it to confirm. That’s how everyone else does it. Actually, Facebook and Google’s are more granular than that because they’ve implemented permissions/scopes which IMHO is the right way to do it…
can u plz provide a link for creating a login API in your website & twitter redirects the user to its page or it simply creates a pop-up for login oauth like Facebook.
This is totally ridiculous and useless to use as a login / sign in option… It has wasted 3 days for me, trying to set twitter up to allow login which allows my website BackOffice to verify user details. I will ditch the Twitter login option altogether
Sort it out Twitter… it’s ridiculous that you haven’t listened to any of the devs in this thread crying out for email address so Login with Twitter isn’t a totally pointless exercise.
“just ask for it” is a complete nonsense answer. Users don’t want to think. Users will not write their email not for security reasons, but because they are lazy. Lazy to write the self email: this is the main, the only reason to implement a “Sign in with twitter” button. If twitter doesn’t provide this, even with the approval of user, why the heck I will put a “Sign in with twitter” option in a website?
Same for me, I can link Google and Facebook accounts using e-mail address, so user can sign into my app with google or facebook, and it’s still the same user (if it has email same for both accounts). But twitter stands out of this and I can’t come out with easy solution. So vote up.
At this point I don’t even know what to comment. Almost everything has been said about this issue by numerous developers over four pages of comments. If after all this unanimous ranting, Twitter still wants to act oblivious to this issue then I dunno why they even act like they care in other forum topics.
Such a shame.
I will not be adding twitter auth, just FB, Google, and MS for now. twitter team, developers are asking for something they say they need.
twitter arrogance, ignorance, or just plain apathy?
I’ll be removing twitter login from my application all together.
Same for me
+1 Cmon guys. This is silly.
omg 2 years and still nothing
Hello, Is there a way to find users or tweets by email? I’m not asking to expose the users’s emails, but to have an end point to find them by email as you do with the “import cantacts from gmail” feature…
Totally agree. With Twitter being the extreme minority in regards to how they handle OAuth, why aren’t they reconsidering?
Of course I’m not going to ask for a user’s email on top of getting permission via Twitter, that defeats the whole purpose! This is supposed to save time. If I have to ask for a user’s email seperately, then I might as well follow my own signing-up process sans Twitter altogether.
A shame.
I was originally going to use Google and Twitter for external authentication. Now with no email address being available with Twitter, guess I will use Google and Facebook; was really hoping to avoid integrating Facebook.
A little late to the party here…but…
Since Twitter API does not return Email address in any way, what about the other way around. If you had email, could you use the API to find Handles that match that email address?
I’m curious because this company claims they have a means to do so. They seem to be a pretty reputable company but I’m curious if any on here has any indication as to how they might go about use the API to do it - VIDEO: http://vimeo.com/75956550 the company is socialbro.com out of the UK.
exactly my thoughts as well. im just looking into this now, wondering if things are different? but seems like not. le sigh.
