I am building a flutter application where I am integrating twitter login(without firebase).
The twitter login is working fine, I am able to make the login using twitter.
I am using the package: flutter_twitter: ^1.1.3
But after login I am only getting the username of the user.
Is there any way to get the email address, profile picture and other personal information of the user?
Your package seems to only manage authentication, you will need to make HTTP request yourself to Twitter API if you want to fetch any other data.
Based on Twitter Users API Documentation you cannot get user's email address but you can get the profile picture url (profile_image_url) or informations such as the user's name and username.
I let you refer to the API full documentation to see all informations you might be able to fetch.

I am trying to connect Instagram to my app. The users will not be able to use the app without connecting to Instagram, therefore I technically need Instagram auth. But Facebook states the following:
Note that Basic Display is not an authentication tool. Data returned by the API cannot be used to authenticate your app users or log them into your app. If your app uses API data to authenticate users, it will be rejected during App Review. If you need an authentication solution, use Facebook Login instead.
So I had to implement a Facebook login. After Facebook login is complete, I am sending the user to Instagram auth window for a second authorization which feels weird for a user.
The other solution that I can think of is the following:
Use Instagram's user_id that is retrieved after Instagram auth and use it to create a custom auth method with Firebase. (I believe this would be rejected at app review)
What is the correct way to achieve this?
Sources:
Instagram auth: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/reference/oauth-authorize
Firebase custom auth: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/custom-auth
NOTE: Facebook login has "instagram_basic" scope but that doesn't allow me to get instagram info or media of normal users (non-business accounts)
I am using Firebase for my app. I can successfully authenticate users with facebook and twitter providers. I have added the linking the user accounts. Now a user can authenticate with email and then connect the facebook and twitter providers. But I have a problem in this case.
The scenario is, the user signed in with email. Connect twitter and facebook accounts to original account. Then, try to send a tweet. Right there, twitter login page opens. The user did not know the twitter tokens for twitter provider. I need to get custom tokens from the firebase for facebook and twitter. This way its meaningful to link providers. How can I do that?
I'm developing a mobile API and I would like to allow mobile users to log in to my mobile application using their Facebook account.
I've been struggling to find some detailed information regarding this request. Could someone point me in the right direction? I'm using the following Laravel package for OAuth2:
https://github.com/lucadegasperi/oauth2-server-laravel
As I understand, the user clicks the "Login with Facebook" button and then proceeds to authentication. Facebook provides the access token as a result. But how does a user account appear on our server? And to my knowledge, it is our server that should provide an access token which is tied to the user account on our database. Could someone clear this up?
Have you looked at the Facebook mobile sdk guides?
iOS: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios
Andriod: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/
The package you mention looks like it performs oAuth authentication, and I don't think you need that. If I understand correctly, you should be able to use the Facebook sdk to perform the authentication and tell your app that the user is authenticated. You will have to create a user account for them (for example, add a record to the users table in your database) and store their Facebook ID.
I have setup an application to use Parse.com and the Facebook SDK for user auth.
Is there anyway in Facebook App Center or any where else that I can find the users that setup using Facebook. I can see basic auth information in Parse, but how do I then find the information that is requested from a Facebook user i.e. profile information, email address etc to then email/use?
Thanks
I'm using socialoauth (http://code.google.com/p/socialoauth/) to implement twitter & facebook logins for a web site. The site is php and mysql based.
I've got logins implemented and working, but I need to get the users screen name or email so that I can store their preferences about my site in a mysql database. I'm not sure how to go about getting their information once I've got the oauth_token and oauth_secret. I couldn't find any documentation or examples using socialoauth, aside from getting the logins working.
I downloaded twitteroauth (https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth), and mismashed that together with socialoauth.php via this tutorial (http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-authenticate-users-with-twitter-oauth/) and was able to get the twitter user's information, but I would prefer to use only socialoauth.php because it does logins for both facebook and twitter.
Specific question: does anyone know which functions in socialoauth are used to get the user's information (hopefully for both twitter and facebook)? I'm very new to this, so it's possible I saw the function I needed while I was looking through the code, and simply didn't recognize it as what I needed.
Twitter does not provide access to users email addresses. The users Twitter screen_name should be returned in the same request you get their access token however.
With Facebook you have to ask for the email permission and then their email address should be accessible with the profile details.
