I need to get owner details like email/username/name of the channel using youtube data API. I've checked the document. Can you please suggest a way how I can get these details for the same?
Email address - emails are usually hidden by a button protected by reCaptcha
Thanks,

If you check the documentation for channels#resource you will notice that the fields you are looking for
email
username
name
Do not exist there is no way to find out the owner of a YouTube channel via the YouTube API even if you are authenticated as that user. If you did authorize the user you could add the profile and email scopes and this would give you access to the Google People API and you would be able to find that information there.
If you are not authorizing the user then there is no way you are going to get private personal information about a user from a public api endpoint.
I want to display the GMail avatar of the user in my app. I can easily get the image URL, using the Google People API. But this API expects a user ID.
Which other Google API can I use to pass in an email address, and get back the user ID?
The Google people api is technically hooked up to Google Contacts. So if you authenticate your user and they have added themselves with a picture you will see it that way.
The Google+ api will work the same way you authenticate the user and if they have added a picture you will be able to see it.
Which other Google API can I use to pass in an email address, and get back the user ID?
NONE. There is no way Google or any other company is going to give you an api that is going to let you search on peoples email addresses and return a picture or any information about said person you may want to consult GDRP
Email address is private user information and is only accessible by being authenticated.
In my application ,users have their own accounts ,when a user logs in and provides gmail credentials, i have to get the events in his calendar by making call to calendar API using service account .
There is an api for accessing Google Calendar as you have noted it is called Google Calendar API.
In order to access private user data you must have the owner of that data's permission. To get that permission you use Oauth2.
Accessing APIs using login and password is called client login and this was discontinued by Google around may 2015
Answer: No you can not access a users private Google Calendar data using their login and password.
i am using pinterest api to register a user on my website. i get user id, first name, last name and url. but email is not given in the response. how can is there any api to get email of pinterest user?
You cant get email address of Authenticated user via API. Pintrest do not provide that detail through API.
I am using TweetSharp for user login in my asp.net mvc web app. All works fine but after login I need to save the user data in my DB as well. I cant find email from TwitterUser object after loging. How can i get user's email once the user is authenticated?
thanks
You cannot. The Twitter API doesn't return email addresses for users.
Take a look at the users/show documentation to see all the information you can retrieve.
If your app is whitelisted, you can now retrieve the email as part of verify_credentials https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/account/verify_credentials
