Facebook only returning name and id of user

Question

I am trying to login to my website using my Facebook account but Facebook is giving name and id only that is not enough to login user. Before I was getting full information like firstname, lastname, email etc.

Data provided by facebook now:

stdClass Object
(
    [name] => FName LName
    [id] => 236189327864097
)

I am using Oauth v2.0 to login users through Facebook to my website.

Looks like you're using v2.4 of the Graph API. See

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_4

Declarative Fields
To try to improve performance on mobile networks, Nodes and Edges in v2.4 requires that you explicitly request the field(s) you need for your GET requests. For example, GET /v2.4/me/feed no longer includes likes and comments by default, but GET /v2.4/me/feed?fields=comments,likes will return the data. For more details see the docs on how to request specific fields.

To get an idea how to use the so-called field expansion, have a look at

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/v2.4#fields

Solution 2

FB.api('/me?fields=first_name, last_name, picture, email', function(response) {
          console.log(response);
          document.getElementById('status').innerHTML =
            'Thanks for logging in, ' + response.first_name + '!';
        });

This worked for me. Pass email after /me?fields= in FB.api request.

If you using PHP, you need to read also this article:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.4

Basically, Fb says about email that

Note, even if you request the email permission it is not guaranteed you will get an email address. For example, if someone signed up for Facebook with a phone number instead of an email address, the email field may be empty.

Solution 4

Pass by parameters the fields that you looking for:

var request = new OAuth2Request("GET", new Uri("https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=birthday,email,name,id"), null, eventArgs.Account);
