how to get user email with python social auth with facebook and save it
12,255
Solution 1
After some changes in Facebook Login API - Facebook's Graph API v2.4 You will have to add these lines to fetch email
SOCIAL_AUTH_FACEBOOK_SCOPE = ['email']
SOCIAL_AUTH_FACEBOOK_PROFILE_EXTRA_PARAMS = {
'fields': 'id,name,email',
}
Solution 2
I think the problem is using FACEBOOK_EXTENDED_PERMISSIONS.
According to http://python-social-auth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/backends/facebook.html#oauth2 you should use:
SOCIAL_AUTH_FACEBOOK_SCOPE = ['email']

I'm trying to implement python-social-auth in django.
I want users to authenticate through facebook and save their email.
I'm able to authenticate users but the extended permission for email is not showing up in the facebook authentification box and it's not storing the email in the database.
In settings.py I have the follwoing:
SOCIAL_AUTH_FACEBOOK_KEY='xxx' SOCIAL_AUTH_FACEBOOK_SECRET='xxx' FACEBOOK_EXTENDED_PERMISSIONS = ['email'] AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ( 'social.backends.facebook.FacebookOAuth2', 'social.backends.email.EmailAuth', 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend', ) LOGIN_URL = '/login/' LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/done/' LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = '/' URL_PATH = '' SOCIAL_AUTH_STRATEGY = 'social.strategies.django_strategy.DjangoStrategy' SOCIAL_AUTH_STORAGE = 'social.apps.django_app.default.models.DjangoStorage' SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE = ( 'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_details', 'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_uid', 'social.pipeline.social_auth.auth_allowed', 'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_user', 'social.pipeline.user.get_username', 'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_by_email', # 'users.pipeline.require_email', 'social.pipeline.mail.mail_validation', 'social.pipeline.user.create_user', 'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_user', 'social.pipeline.social_auth.load_extra_data', 'social.pipeline.user.user_details' )
The facebook dialog box...
How can I solve this?

knaperek over 7 yearsDoes this still work? I can't get it working and the worst thing is that it doesn't even produce any error logs, it just silently skips the email retrieval step.
