    path: '/me',
    success: function(data) {
              console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
              var name = data.name;
              var fbid = data.id;
             var username = data.first_name;
              var emailid = data.email;
              var gender = data.gender;
              alert('success');                            
              },
              error: errorHandler
        });
    function errorHandler(error) {
        alert(error.message);
    }

Please, Any suggestion guys

It only works when I test using the App ID (465374093524857) in the example: http://coenraets.org/apps/openfb/index.html So it seems that it's a problem with the way we configure the Facebook app.

[richardshergold]

I'm getting nothing when trying to use the openFB.api call either. Did you solve this? What do I need to do to configure my Facebook app to allow this?

[MacGWik]

me too. when i use my app id, openFB only fetch the user_id and the name...

and now, i need to fetch email and birthday

[MacGWik]

Pls help us the developer of openFB... :(

[MacGWik]

Before you read this i assume that your app facebook can get the "Name" and "ID" property

Hello all, i have tried every way and, i get the solution...

the solution is make the link graph api hardcoded (I'm not make a variable) to get the value that you want..

look at the picture ! No 1. change the "v2.5" as th graph api version that you use no 2. change the fields value ("id,name,email,birthday") to fields that you need to get from the user

that's all

[abiodunadigun]

it is very simple. you don't need to change anything in the openfb.js file. what you need to do is to change the call method in the index.html file

<script>
openFB.init({ appId: 'your-app-id' });
function login() {
    openFB.login(function (response) {
        if (response.status === 'connected') {
            if (response.authResponse) {
                var accessToken = response.authResponse.accessToken;
                openFB.api({
                    path: "/{your app version in facebook developer envi.}/me?",
                    params: { "access_token": accessToken, "?fields":"name,email,gender,user_birthday,locale,bio&access_token='"+accessToken+"'" },
                    success: function (response) {
                        var data = JSON.stringify(response);
                       // do whatever you want with the data for example
                       $(".data_div").html(data); 
                       $(".data_email").html(data.email);

                    },
                    error: function(err){
                    alert(err);
                   }
                });
            }
            else { 
                   alert(“empty response returned”);

            }
        }
        else { 
                alert(“not connected”);
        }
    },
    {
        scope: "public_profile,email,user_birthday"
    });
}
</script>

very important! Please replace {your app version in facebook developer envi.} with your app version like v2.0 or v2.5

also don't forget to change 'your app id' to you facebook app id example 432046826485152

[avegpatekar]

I tried above 2 solutions but getting error while retriving the email id i.e "an active access token must be used to query information about the current user javascript". Can anyone suggest a solution?

[abiodunadigun]

could you please write out a code sample on how you tried it? maybe we could help figuring out whats wrong with your code

[avegpatekar]

Here is the code, `openFB.login(function (response) { if (response.status === 'connected') { if (response.authResponse) { var accessToken = response.authResponse.accessToken; openFB.api({ path: "/v2.5/me?", params: { "access_token": accessToken, "?fields":"first_name,last_name,email,&access_token='"+accessToken+"'" }, success: function (response) { var data = JSON.stringify(response);

            },
            error: function(err){
            alert(JSON.stringify(err));
           }
        });
    }
    else { 
           alert('empty response returned');

    }
}
else { 
        alert('not connected');
}

}, { scope: "public_profile,email" });`

I am able to get the first_name and last_name but not able to get email id.

[abiodunadigun]

try it by changing this params: { "access_token": accessToken, "?fields": "first_name,last_name,email,&access_token='" + accessToken + "'" },

to this

params: { "access_token": accessToken, "?fields": "first_name,last_name,email&access_token='" + accessToken + "'" },

that is removing the coma after the fields parameter email.

[avegpatekar]

Removed coma. Still facing same issue.

[abiodunadigun]

in your openfb.js does the function api(obj){...} looks like the below code ?

` function api(obj) {

    var method = obj.method || 'GET',
        params = obj.params || {},
        xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(),
        url;

    params['access_token'] = tokenStore.fbAccessToken;

    url = 'https://graph.facebook.com' + obj.path + '' + toQueryString(params);

    xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
        if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
            if (xhr.status === 200) {
                if (obj.success) obj.success(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText));
            } else {
                var error = xhr.responseText ? JSON.parse(xhr.responseText).error : {message: 'An error has occurred'};
                if (obj.error) obj.error(error);
            }
        }
    };

    xhr.open(method, url, true);
    xhr.send();
}`

[avegpatekar]

Yes it is exactly same.

[abiodunadigun]

on my end the code is working perfectly .

[abiodunadigun]

this is what i used:

[avegpatekar]

You are calling with v2.0. Where as my app version is 2.5. Let me try with 2.0.

[abiodunadigun]

okay. maybe that will help

[avegpatekar]

Still not able to get the email id field even after changing the version. I am trying with this app id '940903142645622'. Is there any configuration need to make through app settings. In settings it shows persmission granted for email, public_profile and user_friends.

[abiodunadigun]

try to see if accessKey is treu by testing from you code this line:

success: function (response) { alert(accessToken); }

if you can see the alerted accessToken then the code should be okay. maybe the user email address is not being verified by facebook. I assumed so because you said you were able to get the firstname and lastname

[Mushaqdeen]

This works for me.... In openfb.js

function api(obj) {

    var method = obj.method || 'GET',
        params = obj.params || {},
        xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(),
        url;

    params['access_token'] = tokenStore['fbtoken'];
    params['fields'] = 'id,name,email';

    url = 'https://graph.facebook.com' + obj.path + '?' + toQueryString(params);

[abiodunadigun]

Nice . I am happy for you:)

[chalingui]

MacGWik solution works for me. Thanks!

[francolamber]

the same of chalingui, MacGWik solution works for me, and really thank you very much for the help , I was very useful

[psatriaw]

wew.. this just about the trust for the library, we just need to make sure if the library works properly, because in these case, i need to add some code and it bypassing the code inside the library. but it works!!! thanks!

[ibadrehman90]

How can I get the email address in an alert or in a textfield while using MacGWik methods? Please help.

[MacGWik]

just read my comment at the top @ibadrehman90

I've tried it and it works

*I make it hardcoded because I don't undestand how to make a variable for it, so If, your API version is different with the picture, please change it to yours.

In my case, I use API version 2.5 and I give permission on the facebook app to get the user email*

[rcd229]

I found a sort of hybrid approach that worked for me:

1) hard-code version into openfb.js like in MacGWik's screenshot but DO NOT hardcode fields url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/**v2.6**' + obj.path + '?' + toQueryString(params);

2) use the "params" field in openFB.api as in abiodunadigun's code, but remove the &access_token='"+accessToken+"'"} part at the end and the ? before fields so that it just looks like:

params: { "access_token": accessToken, "fields":"name,email,gender,user_birthday,locale,bio" }

[guilhermemauro]

The @MacGWik's solution works for me.

[martinskou]

This was the solution for me:

        openFB.api({
            path: '/v2.8/me',
            params: { "access_token": accesstoken, "fields":"id,name,email" },
            success: function(data) {

[mehulnahar]

Mushaqdeen solution Works to me Thanks a lot :) :) :)

In openfb.js

function api(obj) {

var method = obj.method || 'GET',
    params = obj.params || {},
    xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(),
    url;

params['access_token'] = tokenStore['fbtoken'];
params['fields'] = 'id,name,email';

url = 'https://graph.facebook.com' + obj.path + '?' + toQueryString(params);

[daksamedia]

@martinskou thank you! your solution bring my smile back!
