I am using a twitter api to post on accounts that sign up, and I cannot seem to find how i can add a new person. I want to add another person so my api can access their account, and get their access tokens.

So I'm building an app which allows to link a twitter user during registration. Now a problem which has been seen is that some twitter users have their profiles set to private and no post can be shown.
This is not a good thing as an admin should directly go to a twitter profile to manually (for now) check if a twitter profile is fake or not.
Now my question: is there a part of the twitter API where you can use tokens to generate a url which will be used to show tweets only for users which authenticated with my app?
No, there is no way to do this. A protected user must choose to allow another user to follow them in order for the Tweets to be seen. This is not part of the Twitter API.
I'm making an iOS application, that needs integration with Facebook Workplace for users can manage their private data (messages, posts, etc).
As I understand I need an app inside admin panel to be created, set up permissions for it, generate app access token for API calls.
With the token we can fetch information about groups and members existing in community. We can fetch information about specific member groups with member access token (impersonate token), which we can get with user id.
We need an authorization to get the user id. We can login to Facebook with iOS SDK, but facebook login and facebook workplace login are two different entities. I couldn't find anything about authorization in Facebook Workplace.
Is it possible at all? I think it should be, because this page exists and all API calls require some code and token that had to be somehow retrieved previously: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/workplace/reference/account-management-api
I'm building an app that shows users people they might be interested in talking to. If a user says he's interested in a person I show them, I want my app to create this person as a contact in my user's SalesforceIQ.
How do I do this? I see from the API documentation https://api.salesforceiq.com/#/ruby#documentation_contacts_create-a-contact that I can create a contact if I know my user's username and password, but of course I don't want my users to give me this information. Is there some way for the user to OAuth or whatnot by clicking a button that authorizes me to add things to their SalesforceIQ?
The SalesforceIQ API uses HTTP Basic authentication and does not currently support OAuth according to their documentation.
For a SalesforceIQ user to grant API access to your app to create contacts and for other privileges, the SalesforceIQ admin creates an API Key and API Secret for your app which is then used for the HTTP Basic authentication username and password. This way no user needs to provide your app with their credentials. This is configured in the SalesforceIQ admin UI under Settings > Integrations > Create New Custom Integration.
For the admin to provide these credentials to your app, you can have a UI where the SalesforceIQ admin enters this for your app to store and use with the API for their account.
This is described in the following places, briefly in the API Reference and in detail in a Help Desk article with screenshots of what the SalesforceIQ admin needs to do:

I'm learning oauth 2.0 and was wondering about the following scenario
say I want a website to allow login with both twitter and facebook
when a new user logs in for the first time using twitter, the server checks if a user with this twitter id exists in the database and if not, creates a new user using values returned from twitter
the same user logs out and logs in again, this time using his facebook account
Question: how can I match the returning user with the account that was created the first time and avoid creating a second user account for the same user ?
Thanks
If you request for their email address, you can detect matches and merge that way?
If you are only interested in having the user log in, then you should be looking at openID, not OAuth.
Unless you explicitly ask the user to link their various accounts together for your app, there really isn't a good way to know that JohnDoe on Twitter is JohnDoe on Facebook.
You can ask the customer to link their accounts together and give them tools to merge two accounts (one created with Twitter account and one with Facebook account) together.
After OAuth with facebook , how do I get the graph of the pages created by user?
I search over the documentation and event search inside the callback that facebook send me after the OAuth , I still can't get the pages that the user create , I have to use FQL for this? And how do I use FQL in rails?
You can use the graph api to query for this information after you have logged in using OAuth.
Facebook uses an unintuitive name for this interface - accounts. The URL you are looking for is - https://graph.facebook.com/me/accounts?access_token= < your_access_token >
This should list out a JSON array of objects that have been created by the logged in user. The pages created by the user will be in this list along with the list of pages that they are fans of.
After authentication you receive a token. Use it to request graph API and you are authenticated with user depend of this token.
