Query on Social integration with AEM6.2

[CheriCQ]

Hi, 

Need some inputs on how to integrate Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn with AEM 6.2.

AEM out of the box lets you integrate with third-party products: 

https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/administer/integration/third-party-services.html

However - to integrate AEM with these other products at the component level- you need to use the given APIs for the other products and build the AEM component using these APIs. For example, assume you want to get Twitter information into AEM.

In this case, you would use Twitter API. See this community article as an example: 

Creating Adobe Experience Manager components that display Twitter data

Likewise, if you want to build an AEM Facebook component - you would need to use the SDK described here: 

https://developers.facebook.com/

Hope this helps...

I hope would help you a bit.

Otherwise there ia alwars an option to create a custom component/service to intigrate with external tools by calling rest/APIs.
