    Is there a Twitter API call which can check whether a email address is registered with twitter or not?

    Can some one code it for me..

    You need also password...

    
    $twitter = new Zend_Service_Twitter('someone@gmail.com', 'password');
    // verify your credentials with twitter
    $response = $twitter->account->verifyCredentials();
    
    PHP:
    There is no way to search for users by email only with twitter API right now.

    You can attempt a registration, and check if it complains about the email address.

    Edit: worked out how to do this, please PM me.
