I need to know how to get age and gender of Twitter user?
I am using TweetSharp v2, but if you have any way to get this info will be welcome.
I checked my Twitter settings and I don't see an option for gender or date of birth.
According to Twitter Employee #episod Taylor Singletary,
Demographic data such as this is not available from the API -- and not
always appropriate as Twitter accounts can represent many things not
limited to persons alive or dead.

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'm working on a research and I need to get the age/date of birth of any user using Twitter API. Is it possible to do that?
Twitter doesn't store users' dates of birth so no, it's not possible.
I have to show graph for gender and age in twitter like facebook demograph (attached with this)...
Is it possible to get data for gender and age from twitter using oauth or api according to follower count ?
Thanks in advance....

When you create a twitter account, it never asks for gender. So there is no question to get it through the API.
Any ideas on how I can get location, age and gender of my followers on Twitter? I know that Twitter can only give me location (not always), by looking at either time-zone or location. But I have seen other applications presenting the demographics of my followers and I have no idea how they do it? Is it fake?
Twitter does not provide this information. Some third party sites use techniques like analyzing tweets to try and predict demographics based on content. Others have deals with third partys that connect Twitter accounts with other profiles like Facebook accounts. There is no sure fire way to do it and all options will have reliability issues.
I see sites like http://klout.com where you add a bunch of emails and they tell you what services a person uses and rates the persons usages. I have a list of emails for a new site and I'd like to see who is a twitter user or not in my admin panel by calling the twitter API. However, I can't seem to find any documentation on how to search for a twitter user by their email address. Is this possible?
Short answer: No. This functionality was offered at one point, but was abused by spammers and was removed.
Long answer: Twitter API: search people by email
