I am trying to retrieve the email address from twitter after login. I am using angular 2 with php backend ( slim3 framework ) for API calls,on clicking the twitter button i call the auth api
require "twitteroauth/autoload.php";
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;
/* *
* URL: http://localhost/kudosapi/auth
* Parameters: token
* Method: GET
* */
$app->get('/auth', function ($request, $response, $args) {
$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET);
$request_token = $connection->oauth('oauth/request_token', ['oauth_callback' => 'http://127.0.0.1:4200/login', 'x_auth_access_type' => 'write']);
$_SESSION['twt_oauth_token'] = $request_token['oauth_token'];
$_SESSION['twt_oauth_token_secret'] = $request_token['oauth_token_secret'];
$url = $connection->url('oauth/authorize', array('oauth_token' => $request_token['oauth_token']));
$auth = [];
$auth['url'] = $url;
$auth['oauth_token'] = $request_token['oauth_token'];
$auth['oauth_token_secret'] = $request_token['oauth_token_secret'];
return $this->response->withJson($auth);
});
After this it goes to the callback url which i mentioned in the above code…the url would contain the oauth_token and verifier values. I also send the token and token secret values since the values were not getting stored in sessions ( i dont know why ). After getting these values from auth api, i trigger to call callback api passing the values: oauth_token, verifier,token and token secret. the callback api code is given below:
/* *
* URL: http://localhost/kudosapi/auth/twitter/callback
* Parameters: otoken, verifier, oatoken, oasecret
* Method: PUT
* */
$app->put('/auth/twitter/callback', function (Slim\Http\Request $request, Slim\Http\Response $response, $args) use($app) {
$inputs = $request->getParsedBody();
$request_token = [];
$request_token['oauth_token'] = $inputs['oatoken'];
$request_token['oauth_token_secret'] = $inputs['oasecret'];
if ($request_token['oauth_token'] !== $inputs['otoken']) {
die('something went wrong');
}
$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, $request_token['oauth_token'], $request_token['oauth_token_secret']);
$access_token = $connection->oauth("oauth/access_token", ["oauth_verifier" => $inputs['verifier']]);
$_SESSION['twt_access_token'] = $access_token;
$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, $access_token['oauth_token'], $access_token['oauth_token_secret']);
$user = $connection->get("account/verify_credentials", ['include_email' => 'true', 'include_entities' => 'false', 'skip_status' => 'true']);
//var_dump($user);
return $this->response->withJson($user);
});
Doing these i get the user credentials except for email address, I have done all options mentioned before( checking on additional permissions in settings page , filled the privacy policy and tos urls, even confirmed my email address ) and it shows can request for email address in app details page. However it shows email address cannot be seen in the auth dialog box. Is there any mistake in the way i call the twitter api? Please do help me.
