In my country, we use our own social networks, the best one of them is Zing Me, this social network allows me to log in with a Facebook account, a Yahoo account, a Twitter account, a Google+ account. I wonder how this can be done?
Could you please explain to me the mechanism or give me some helpful link for this?
Your help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks!
PS: In fact, it guides me through some steps for creating new account based on the personal information which is fetched from the outside network (E.g: Facebook). And this is the secret thing I want to know, how can it fetch information of a user from an outside network?

Thank you, what about others (beside Google)? They must also have their own APIs?

Why not Google it? Go and read up about their APIs. They are well documented and in the public domain.
