is there a way to get a list (ideally XML or Json) of what pictures a specific user likes on Instagram?
I had a look at the Instagram APIs but there's nothing like this. This would be have the same informations I can see in the News => Following menu but not limited to few hours.
There is no public API for accessing other user's likes, you can only get logged-in user's likes using this endpoint: http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/likes/

Is there a way to get the profile picture for a google+ account by using an URL ?
I know that we can get the photo by doing something like: https://plus.google.com/s2/photos/profile/1234567890?sz=200 and I need something similar to get the profile cover photo.
It depends on the URL you have, if you have the user's Google+ ID, you can then retrieve their profile, which contains a link to their profile. An example:
Api Explorer Demo of Retrieving a Cover Photo
Set the fields value to cover/coverPhoto/url if it's not getting added automatically.
There is not a link to access profile photos through the Google+ API. The best way to do this would be to make a GET request to the people.get API endpoint, as follows:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/{userId}
That will return a Person resource, which will contain the user's profile image under the id image.

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).
I am trying to get just the top rectangle (https://twitter.com/cnnbrk see this page to see what I am talking about) from twitter accounts using the twitter api and placing them on my site. I want users to be able to press follow to follow the user as well. Anyone know a way to do this? Thanks!
That's quite easy. Retrieve the user with the corresponding Twitter API endpoint, i.e. GET users/show (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/users/show). Then, do your own rectangle to display the information provided by Twitter.
I want to create a simple Twitter application, but I have a problem. I want to show the user information about his followers, but this requires one API request to get a list of all user IDs following him, and then many additional API requests to get the user information corresponding to the user IDs that were just fetched. Is it possible to get user info for many followers in one request?
Use the Followers method:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/followers.xml (Twitter API Documenation)
It returns detailed information about each follower.
