twitter needs to add emailaddress, add one vote!

I’ll add my name to the chorus. It is available from all other Oauth providers I am using.

That is ridiculous by Twitter.
No chance to use the Twitter Api and Good Bye

It’s a shame that Twitter wont give us access to the user’s email. If the user decides not to provide his/her email, then they can simply reject the connection request and move on. But to you as a web service provider, you shouldn’t be the one preventing this.

Why I’d need the email? Well, the user using Twitter to sign up will become part of my website’s database. And all users in my database have emails, so I want Twitter to provide us with emails as well. How else am I going to email updates to my users when the email is missing?

Please reconsider and make this happen. There is no reason to differ from the other APIs out there.

No access to email address? Am I the only one who is getting suspicious about this?
Come on - if Twitter cared about this they’d do this in a day. Same for OAuth2 support.

Here’s my theory - Twitter is getting paid a bunch to withhold from competition with Google and Facebook as the primary Identity providers on the web. Any other explanation just doesn’t cut it for me. Anybody? What do you guys think the reason is?

Still no solution for getting Email Id to Authenticate user for my system via Twitter??

VoleeIt · 2014-02-12T11:24:44.000Z

I can’t add twitter as sign-in method if you don’t add email to api!

+1. OAuth is useless without email address.

udipl · 2014-02-24T05:16:12.000Z

+1

No, that’s not “the whole point” of OAuth at all. The whole point of OAuth is to let a 3rd-party system manage authentication/authorization for you. Forcing the user to share personal/private information is not part of the OAuth spec: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749

TheRoseTester · 2014-03-08T00:23:58.000Z

#fail … no email. We had to make the decision to not use twitter login.

paulsorens · 2014-03-12T00:12:53.000Z

Same as most people here have said - without email through, Twitter is useless for OAuth2

andrepiper89 · 2014-03-13T12:16:10.000Z

lol… just following this post. It’s fascinating to believe that they haven’t fixed this yet. Cheers twitter your devs are stubborn.

EricDahlvang · 2014-03-20T20:59:19.000Z

I wish I had known this when I began implementing Twitter OAuth. Instead, I assumed I’d be able to get the email address, and wrote everything up to the point where I needed it…only to find out that it is not available, and I’ve wasted my time.

I am currently create new apps, how to get tweets ids.

agwntr · 2014-03-24T15:00:00.000Z

Hey guys. Maybe twitter is right about this email thing. In my apps, all I need from Twitter is the user’s unique int ID, just to get them through the door and into my app. If I need their email, I just ask for it from within my app, and then do my user account associations. My thinking is that there is no difference if “your” app asks for the user’s email address, or twitter’s authorization window saying it the app requires your email address. Its the same thing, and the user can say no on any of those points.

Besides, Twitter’s sign in process is really straight forward, take a look https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/implementing-sign-twitter.

I use social login buttons only to create a customer and then to help him login without recalling his email and password that he used for my website. its just to save his time.

if I don’t have an email, i do not have a customer - simple as that. makes no sense to create a twitter login without an email. so this is what i have to do now - I used the twitter login button to create an account and then i ask the customer to put in the email - to finish the signup.

you know what the customers say?

WHY DON’T YOU JUST TAKE IT FROM TWITTER?

Twitter signup is not really helping us. besides - why on earth would you take it out. is it some kind of super confidential information, more then the private messages?

waiting for twitter devs to give it another thought.
