We're working on a website, that has a feature to create training.
To create a training, a user need to be a instructor and submit his/her facebook, instagram, twitter profile links.
Now we are very curious to know if there's any way to verify the links a user provides (he/she actually own this profile).
I can't find any docs, blogposts about or similar to our requirements.
If there's any way to meet the requirements, any suggestion would be very helpful.
Application backend: ASP.Net Core 6, Frontned: React

Facebook: Afaik there is no way to verify the user links - The only way to identify a user is by letting him authorize your Facebook App. But the possibility to get his "real" profile URL is deprecated: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/version3.0

Instagram: After authorization, you can use this endpoint to get the user/profile name: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/reference/user/

Twitter: It should be possible to get the screen_name, so you would just need to match it with the screen_name of the logged in user: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/v1/data-dictionary/object-model/user

In any case, you need different Apps for all platforms. Instagram/Facebook can be one App, but for Twitter you would need a separate one.
