I'm creating a web application which needs some details of the user's twitter account. How can I get the twitter accessToken and access the twitter API. When I was searching this, I found that I had to create my application in twitter developers site Which I dont want at all. I've created my simple web application in java, in which i need to use twitter API. Is that possible??? Please help me out.
Generally speaking, Stack Overflow / Stack Exchange work best when you have a specific code question that we can clarify for you. This question is very broad so it is less simple to provide you with a direct solution.
In order to access the details of a user's Twitter account, you need to use the Twitter API. Twitter uses OAuth for authentication, so you'll need to code the login flow to get a user accessToken. You also need to register an app with Twitter on apps.twitter.com in order to get a consumerKey and consumerSecret to uniquely identify your app.
Since you're using Java, you might find Twitter4J a useful library for helping you with this. It comes with some pretty good samples that should help you to understand what you'll need to build.

It has been almost a month and I couldn't figure this out.
I am developing a social network application and I want the users to be able to log in via their Twitter and Facebook account Like the screenshot below:
The Facebook is done, and I am stock with the twitter, Note that these pictures are actually set as a buttons.
What I want exactly is:
The user can be able to login (sign up) on the application using their Twitter and I will retrieve the basic information from Twitter API "Name,Username,Profile picture" in my application and store them in my database.
Note: I am using Parse and I already have a table call user.
Please help me :'(
It sounds like you haven't tried anything with Twitter yet.
If this were my code, I'd probably use the Twitter API to login, which they introduce you to here.
Or you can use one of the handy Objective-C libraries they've listed here
I am trying to create a site where you can login with Google+, but I am having some problems understanding the Google+ API.
Can anyone explain to me how to fetch information, such as e-mail, name, id, etc. or give me a good link for a site where I can find some documentation about this.
Before you suggest me to this site I have already read it but not finding out how to fetch info.
Google+ Sign-In provides users the ability to authorize your application to retrieve data from the Google APIs based on the scopes that you set for your button. When a user authorizes your app, the sign-in callback returns you an OAuth 2.0 access token. This token gives you the ability to queries any of the APIs that your scope granted access to, this is not limited to Google+ APIs. You pass your access tokens to the API when you make requests.
Basically, you read the prereqs and didn't continue reading the API docs for the lower level details specific to the API that you are interested in. In this case, it sounds like you want to retrieve a person's profile (A "Person resource") by using the people.get method. At the bottom of that page are code examples for a variety of languages.
I wrote a web-site and I want to connect the users at some point to there Paypal and Payoneer accounts.
I saw some very old posts (even in Stack overflow) that said it wasn't possible.
Does someone know if something has changes? Is it possible to do so?
I haven't used the API myself, but here is the link for the Paypal Account Authentication API. I couldn't find much about Payoneer, except that they are thinking about making a SDK.
Can someone show me how can authenticate with OAuth and do requests to get some news from google Reader?
I try with AsihttpRequest whit no results! Can someone show me is there is a better way to do that and use Oauth to get the subscrition list?
Look into the "ShareKit" framework. It can do a lot of things, including OAuth.
'Background processing' is a terrible term, but I can't think of a better one at this time on a Friday!
I need a specific part of my web app to communicate with twitter - post a status using a single, fixed account. Every twitter oauth tutorial I've seen talks about applications in the general sense - those with multiple users. Does anyone have an example of basic twitter status updating via a non-interactive process?
OK, after a lot of searching and hair-pulling, the answer seems to be:
Go to your app settings page on twitter
Click the 'My Access Token' button in the right hand column
Take a note of the sccess token details on this page
Follow these instructions to use the single-use token details
