Twitter API : Not Getting User Email - Yii2

Question

I'm getting error like

Unknown Property – yii\base\UnknownPropertyException

Setting unknown property: yii\authclient\clients\Twitter::requestEmail

Whenever I am including 'requestEmail' => 'true', in 'authClientCollection' => [ for components in web.php

web.php

$config = [
  .
    .
  'components' => [
        .
        .
        'authClientCollection' => [
        'class' => 'yii\authclient\Collection',
        'clients' => [
        'twitter' => [
          'class' => 'yii\authclient\clients\Twitter',
          'requestEmail' => 'true',
          'consumerKey' => 'IFK2OMG0rKIFK2Jt4rLvw',
          'consumerSecret' => 'ImTprQzaOMG0rKZsZiPDIvwIFK2aOMG0rKZsZiPD',
        ],
      ],
    ],
],

UsersController.php (Controller)

class UsersController extends CommonController 
{
    .
    .
    public function actions() {
    return [
      .
      .
      'auth' => [
        'class' => 'yii\authclient\AuthAction',
        'successCallback' => [$this, 'oAuthSuccess'],
      ],
    ];
  }

    .
    .
    public function oAuthSuccess($client) {
      // get user data from client
      $userAttributes = $client->getUserAttributes();
      var_dump($userAttributes); die;
      // do some thing with user data. for example with $userAttributes['email']
  }

}

login.php (View)

.
.
<p class="text-center">
    <?= yii\authclient\widgets\AuthChoice::widget([
        'baseAuthUrl' => ['/users/users/auth']
   ]) ?>
</p>
.
.

But, as soon I'm omitting the line 'requestEmail' => 'true', from web.php. It's working. I'm getting all required data except email. But, problem is : I am not getting email of user trying to login. Any idea, how can i get. Any hint/suggestion will be a great help for me. Thanks.

I think now it is possible to fetch user's email, please try this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/33867823/386579 — shasi kanth, Mar 29 '16 at 14:28
Yeah @shasikanth : I sent that request. Waiting for approval. Let's see what happens . *Thanks..* — Nana Partykar, Mar 29 '16 at 15:45
Hi @shasikanth : I got mail from twitter stating "*Request Email Access Granted*". I followed the step what they have stated in mail. But, even though I am not able to access `email`. Do you have any idea regarding this. ? — Nana Partykar, Mar 30 '16 at 07:42
Not sure why it is unable to fetch email. May be you are trying in your localhost. Also try with any public URL. — shasi kanth, Mar 30 '16 at 09:21
Can you try on same twitter profile or distinct? May be there can be profile without email (fo example registered by phone number). — jekaby, Mar 30 '16 at 14:58
Hi @jekaby : I got the solution. Even I posted it as answer. Now, I am getting *email* value. Thanks For Your Reply. — Nana Partykar, Mar 30 '16 at 15:01

At last, I got it.

This answer is for those who just installed Twitter API or stuck in middle.

Follow step by step.

1) If you have already created "Consumer Key (API Key)" & "Consumer Secret (API Secret)". Then, directly go to Point-5. Else, Run this command php composer.phar require --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-authclient "*" in your system. And, generate "Consumer Key (API Key)" & "Consumer Secret (API Secret)". Follow Create New App & Twitter App Documentation

2) In web.php

$config = [
        .
          .
        'components' => [
              .
              .
              'authClientCollection' => [
              'class' => 'yii\authclient\Collection',
              'clients' => [
                'twitter' => [
                  'class' => 'yii\authclient\clients\Twitter',
                  'consumerKey' => 'Generated Consumer Key (API Key)',
                  'consumerSecret' => 'Generated Consumer Secret (API Secret)',
                ],
             ],
          ],
    ],

3) In YourController.php (Controller) : Add auth section in function actions() And, function oAuthSuccess($client) (As I declared)

class UsersController extends CommonController 
    {
          .
          .
          public function actions() {
                return [
                  .
                  .
                  'auth' => [
                    'class' => 'yii\authclient\AuthAction',
                    'successCallback' => [$this, 'oAuthSuccess'],
                  ],
                ];
            }

          .
          .
          public function oAuthSuccess($client) {
            // get user data from client
            $userAttributes = $client->getUserAttributes();
            var_dump($userAttributes); die;
            // do some thing with user data. for example with  $userAttributes['email']
          }
          .
          .

    }

4) In YourView.php (View)

<?= yii\authclient\widgets\AuthChoice::widget([
    'baseAuthUrl' => ['/users/users/auth']
]) ?>

5) Send a Support Ticket to twitter for whitelisting your app. Select I need access to special permissions & Fill the required field & submit it.

6) After Few minutes/Hours, You will get an email stating/subject "Request Email Access Granted.". Email will say you to login at apps.twitter.com.

After sucessfull login,

click on your Application Name.
Go to "Settings" tab, fill Privacy Policy URL & Terms of Service URL text fields. Save it through Update Settings button.
Go to "Permissions" tab, Check Request email addresses from users checkbox. And, Save it through Update Settings button.
Go to "Keys and Access Tokens" tab, And Again "Regenerate consumer key and secret" in Application Actions section.
After regenerating Consumer Key (API Key) & Consumer Secret (API Secret) save it to Web.php file.
Don't forget to follow Last 2 Points in this section.

At The End,

7) Go To Sub directories:

Root Folder -> vendor -> yiisoft -> yii2-authclient -> clients -> Twitter.php

Twitter.php

Change

protected function initUserAttributes()
{
    return $this->api('account/verify_credentials.json', 'GET');
}

To

protected function initUserAttributes()
{
    return $this->api('account/verify_credentials.json', 'GET', ['include_email' => 'true']);
}

[Note: I am using Yii2-App-Basic. In Yii2-App-Advanced, Only File location path will get changed. ]
