I want to implement a contact import function that enables my website to import users contacts from twitter by retrieving their twitter friends firstname,lastname, and email address.
Is there any way to do that?
I have checked the api :
https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/friends/list
but it dont give email id of friends.
Please help.

I have list of emails. And want to send a market campaign through messages on twitter. How it can be done using email list.
This is not possible, as there's no way to look up Twitter accounts via email address in the Twitter API.
I was wondering.
I want to access the tweets by using email address of the people, I already have the email addresses and then I want to search via API some statistics about the people's tweets.
Is this possible?
Any help or workaround will be appreciated, thanks.
The email addresses of Twitter users are not accessible through the API. This is a deliberate design decision by the Twitter development team for security and privacy.
The users in question would need to provide you with their email address and Twitter username. this would let you perform the sort of search you are describing.
I am using Facebook SDK to connect Facebook in my app. User will logged in once and will make invitation about MyApp to their friends. I am successful to get ids and name of all Facebook friends. But I couldn't access to email id of Facebook friends. Is there anyway to get access to Facebook friends email ids? So that I can send them a invitation email.
Is there any other ways, that I can accomplish invitation function in application.
I hourly searched on google and so but no results points me to the solution.
Edit:
I've already accepted an answer, that says, there's no ways to get access to friends email id's. So I am looking for some other solution. There should be some solution exist.
Thanks!
There is no way you can get all the email ids of your Facebook friends. But if you have any concept like "Buddies" or "Friends" in your app, you can send request to the mail ids of registered users of your app who is already your Facebook friend. This is how many social network apps like Instagram do.
'Find Friends via Facebook' functionality in Instagram lists out the user's Facebook friends who are already on Instagram.
Eg: A and B are 2 users who are registered on Instagram. A and B are Facebook friends. But A & B are not buddies on Instagram.
While availing 'Find Friends via Facebook' facility, Instagram fetches user's Facebook-email-ID, Facebook-ID etc. Facebook provides API in such a way that user can list out his friends ID. Now, match-making is made to check if any of friend's Facebook-ID is already registered with Instagram. Thus it lists out all the facebook friends of users who are already registered with Instagram so that user can add him/her to the user's buddy-list.
Perhaps this is what you are looking for?

You can't. Unless they make their emails public

I recently developed contacts importer for Gmail and Yahoo. However, I come to know that Twitter doesnt give any contacts(email) using oAuth. So, I wanna know whether Facebook allows to import the contacts of friends or not.
If yes, Do they use oAuth or any other authentication method
Facebook will not give you friends email addresses via the API.
is it possible, using the twitter api, to get a twitter user through his email - searching for user by email?
i know that the user/show method was able to do it, but now the email parameter has been deprecated.
any thoughts?
There is currently no way to do this via the Twitter API, unless you're in the closed beta for this feature, sorry.
