I am working on a requirement where I need to fetch user profile from various social media sites. For example, I can use the twitter's user search api to fetch user profile using the user name. But i have only email address and want to fetch user profile data from twitter using email address. I found out that twitter's api does not support user search based on email address. Similarly facebook API also does not support user profile search based on email ID. Is there any other way to fetch the user profile data from these websites using email Id's?

If twitter doesn't provide any API, then how does foursquare retrieve them?
Foursquare has provision to list out the user's foursquare-friends who have registered with twitter.
It also provides API which shows friends of users who commonly appear in 'foursquare friend's list' as well as 'twitter followers list' of the user.
In both the above cases comparison can be made only through email.
Please help.
There's no way for you to get an e-mail from Twitter. Except, of course, by asking the person to give it.
What FourSquare does need no access to the e-mail. Matching is based on the Twitter name, not on the e-mail.
In the comments you say
My friend has registered in both Twitter and Foursquare. The only field common in her profile is the email id. No other fields match. She comes in the 2nd list which i have mentioned above.
but then you admit
After she has registered with FourSquare, went to her profile, clicked on friends -> Add Friends -> opted Twitter. She was asked to login to Twitter and thus she did it
This means that now FourSquare have access to her Twitter as well as your. Foursquare knows her Twitter id and your twitter id and can access Twitter (using Twitter API) to see who is following is following who. In other words when you say
The only field common in her profile is the email id. No other fields match.
You are wrong. Once she connected her FourSquare profile with her Twitter, all data that is accessible via Twitter API is in fact (at least potentially) part of her Foursquare profile.
But she needed to explicitly connect the two profiles (which she did when she opted to add friends to her Foursquare profile using Twitter).
Is it possible to send an email to join the site as the currently logged in user on your site to his/her contacts?
You can do that now with the GMail API. You will need the user's consent of course, and will need the Contacts API to retrieve the user's contacts.
i want to know if its possible to get the email of the people who are using open id to authenticate to my site [of course with the user knowing that i am getting their email]?
this email will be the user id of the user and i want the user to be able to loggin using any provider and then i will set this email as the user identity.
i need this information in order to design the structure of my site.
i am looking into the following open id providers.
Gmail
Yahoo
Facebook Connect
Hotmail
thanks
Use open social API's...
OpenSocial defines a common API for social applications across multiple websites. With standard JavaScript and HTML, developers can create apps that access a social network's friends and update feeds.

Who says the OpenID provider has the user's e-mail to give to you? I can get an OpenID identity that's accessed only by my fingerprint.
