Twitter and Facebook both using the open graph authentication system, which allows you to authorize your program to view your data from your account, and then retrieving using URL's. See:

You can setup your "application" (required for any use of opengraph) for facebook at http://www.facebook.com/developers
Good luck. It can be a challenge to get started with.
Source(s): alot of painful research in order to do this for my own use.
