is it possible, using the twitter api, to get a twitter user through his email - searching for user by email? i know that the user/show method was able to do it, but now the email parameter has been deprecated.

any thoughts?

There is currently no way to do this via the Twitter API, unless you're in the closed beta for this feature, sorry.
