Can we get email ID from Twitter oauth API?

Solution 1:

This is now possible by filling out a form to request elevated permissions:

1. Go to https://support.twitter.com/forms/platform
2. Select "I need access to special permissions"
3. Enter Application Name and ID. These can be obtained via https://apps.twitter.com/ -- the application ID is the numeric part in the browser's address bar after you click your app.
4. Permissions Request: "Email address"
5. Submit & wait for response
6. After your request is granted, an addition permission setting is added in your twitter app's "Permission" section. Go to "Additional Permissions" and just tick the checkbox for "Request email addresses from users".

Note that user e-mail address has to be verified, otherwise Twitter refuses to provide it. (See include_email parameter description in elevated permissions doc page.)

Solution 2:

Now you can fetch user email address from twitter API and it's a lot much easier. Just follow these steps...

1. Goto Twitter Apps

2. Click on 'Create New App'

3. Fill all required credentials and click on 'Create your Twitter application'

4. Now click on 'Permissions' tab -> check 'Request email addresses from users' field and click on 'Update Settings'. (check given picture)

5. Now in your PHP code, set all app details and add this code!

   $params = array('include_email' => 'true', 'include_entities' => 'false', 'skip_status' => 'true');

   $data = $connection->get('account/verify_credentials', $params); // get the data

   // getting twitter user profile details $twt_id = $data->id; //twitter user id $twt_email = $data->email; //twitter user email

All Done. Hope it help you, good luck. ;)

Solution 3:

It is now possible to retrieve a user's email address from Twitter (if the user permits it, of course).

You'll need to apply to have your application white-listed to receive xAuth.
