I'm looking to integrate a twitter login into my site. I've used the developer link for FB to see what data can be collected. I'd like to know what data I can retrieve from twitter once a user logs in with twitter from my site?
A full list of API endpoints is available here on the Twitter dev site.
account/verify_credentials would be the most basic one to start with as it is information about the authenticated user.

All the tutorial I found explains how to tweet and show an alert message if users cannot tweet.
What about if user hasn't logged in to twitter yet and I want to help user logged in to tweeter.
Basically we want to allow user to sign up to our services via facebook and twitter. We've taken care of facebook. Now we need to so it for twitter.
This are samples of tutorial I found
http://www.raywenderlich.com/5519/beginning-twitter-in-ios-5
I don't want to tweet. I just want to login first so I can store the users' twitter id on my database allowing it to save bookmarks, etc..
All I see is https://dev.twitter.com/docs/ios. It's not clear whether we have to compute the sig manually, do we have to open safari or what.
Did you go through api documentation on twitter integration to ios?
Here is a similar question.May be this will help you
If you want your users to login with their twitter accounts, you will have to register your application with Twitter to obtain a key to sign your requests. You can read more about this on Twitter Developer Page
I'm building a web application with the google adwords API (ASP.NET Client library v14.5.0).
I'm using the builtin OAuth libraries to authenticate a user. Everything is working fine, but now I want to get user information, such as emailaddress and name from the user thats logged in.
Does somebody knows how this works?
Thanks!
Patrick
AdWords API doesn't provide this information, you could try getting the User profile information instead. See https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2Login#userinfocall for details.
I want my web application, which is built with Ruby on Rails, to communicate with the Facebook Social Graph API, but I am aware of that I need some kind of authorization to achieve that.
So, do I need to build OAuth authentication for my application to make use of auto-publishing messages on the user's Facebook wall?
If not, how could I integrate the social features into my web application?
The web application already has an existing user base; could I also allow my application to get Facebook access? If yes, how?
I would appreciate examples of sites who do this kind of integration really well, also with other services like Twitter, LinkedIn, etc..
All is explained on the facebook developers site:
http://developers.facebook.com/
This explains the auth you need to access graph
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web/#login
You can then combine graph info with your existing user database by saving their facebook ID number hence then you can pull up profile pics etc
Try using the following gems:
Devise: User authentication (If you already have the framework for user authentication, this will not be needed.
Omniauth: Facebook (or any other OAauth e.g. Twitter) authentication
Koala: Facebook open graph api
If you need only Facebook integration, Koala should be sufficient.
For making them work together check this:

anyone knows if it is possible to do registration via twitter just like facebook register (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/registration/)?
it is not login via twitter. i need to store some basic information from the twitter user, eg, name and email, and then request user to choose their own username and password for my site.
Thanks!
Twitter doesn't have this functionality at all , they have #anywhere for integration for some Twitter features on your website. That's the closest there is to this. What you can do is register an account with the information you gather from an authenticating user, but the development of this would be up to you. There are no boxed up solutions right now from Twitter. There may be something third party but I'm not aware of any.
It's also "against the rules"
You may not use Twitter Content or other data collected from end users
of your Client to create or maintain a separate status update or
social network database or service.
