Can you get your Twitter email using the API?

I am developing a iOS App and I have login with Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and Twitter. All of them let me read my email from my profile using API, EXCEPT Twitter.

Is there any way to get my email?

If not, is there in twitter a "internal email", a generated email like in facebook ([email protected])?

The reason is that I use email as identifier (primary key) for users in my database.

Solution

  • No, email address are not available via the Twitter API: https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/1737

    Nor is there any "internal email" available, you will have to use the twitter username and ask the user fro there e-mail address.
