That data point isn't available in the Twitter API. You can see what is available here:
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/platform-objects/users
It follows that LINQ to Twitter can't provide an email either.
Question
Is there any chance to retrive the email from a twitter user? I'm using the LinqToTwitter Nuget in C# Mvc4.
Please if you know anything :)!

OTHER TIPS
this is how I have done it in c#
try
{
// we need to call the user authentication credetials verification api )(using linqtotwitter library) to get the user email
var authTwitter = new SingleUserAuthorizer
{
CredentialStore = new SingleUserInMemoryCredentialStore
{
ConsumerKey = TwConsumerKey,
ConsumerSecret = TwConsumerSecret,
OAuthToken = accessTokenClaim.Value,
OAuthTokenSecret = accessTokenSecretClaim.Value,
UserID = ulong.Parse(loginInfo.Login.ProviderKey),
ScreenName = loginInfo.DefaultUserName
}
};
await authTwitter.AuthorizeAsync();
// call verify credentials api
var twitterCtx = new TwitterContext(authTwitter);
var verifyResponse =
await
(from acct in twitterCtx.Account
where (acct.Type == AccountType.VerifyCredentials) && (acct.IncludeEmail == true)
select acct)
.SingleOrDefaultAsync();
if (verifyResponse != null && verifyResponse.User != null)
{
User twitterUser = verifyResponse.User;
//assign email to existing authentication object
loginInfo.Email = twitterUser.Email;
}
}
catch (TwitterQueryException tqe)
{
}
