Issues in fetching address book to fetch Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Twitter and Facebook contact list in Ruby on Rails
I'm creating an app that people can add their friends to and I want to help them find them via gmail (like that facebook, twitter or foursquare do). I saw the google api for it and im pretty convinced that I need the "Portable Contacts API". My question is how do I do that in Rails?
You could use OmniContacts: https://github.com/Diego81/omnicontacts

You can take a look at:
https://github.com/glennfu/contacts
You should be able to import Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, AOL and Plaxo.

Hi i have been searching for a while for this i want to implement a feature where if a user login my app through twitter she sees who she follows on twitter who already joined my app and gives her the opportunity to follow them on my app like Meerkat does for example.Im using rails for my backend if that healps.
Any help pointing me to right direction is much appreciated.
(PS: Linkedin does it with email but Im interested with only twitter).
Well after some more researching i found out that meerkat uses https://get.fabric.io/ to the best of my knowledge. im going to try it.
I am trying to develop an app which requires to compose a tweet. I can not figure out how to do the auto complete for twitter mention. For example, when users type "#a", the app needs to search all his friends starting with "a". I don't know which twitter api I can search/query to have the list of friends starting with specific characters. I have been going though the twitter api but still no clue. I saw some twitter clients have this feature so it should be doable..
Many thanks in advance.

In my application I want to fetch my gmail contacts.
In my app I have already integrated "Google+ API" So i just need to know that can i access my gmail contact by using the same API. Or I need to integrate Gmail API.
Please help me I am new to this
I wouldn't imagine how you would get the contacts from one service by using another? Not everyone in your gmail contacts is going to be on your google+ account, so how would it be possible to get them?
There are other ways and it is documented online how to integrate with gmail, I suggest you research links like the following to find something you need:
gmail integration in ios application
Gmail API for objective-c?
how to fetch my Gmail contacts into my iPhone App
It is possible, but only if you ask for the contacts scope alongside your Google+ scopes.
Where you integrate the Google+ API, you will also need to ask for scope https://www.google.com/m8/feeds.
See https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/ for more details.
I'm trying to search approach to get like on official page on facebook in my native iOS app.
I read many questions and answers and the resume is no method for this in iOS SDK, but I found that facebook can open access for this method in API.
Where can I send my request for?
I'm sorry if I'm asking in wrong place. I don't know where I can ask.
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.
