facebookGraphAPI.getObject() no longer returns email

[fabiobozzo]

Our website's "Login with Facebook" button stopped working last September.

I noticed that these instructions: userAccessToken = facebookApp.getUserAccessToken(); facebookGraphAPI = new FacebookGraphAPI(accessToken=userAccessToken, appId=APP_ID); userObject = facebookGraphAPI.getObject(id=userId); no longer return what we expect.

For example, now we get:

{"name":"Fabio Bozzo","id":"1345145667"}

... while we need (for authentication needs):

{"name":"Fabio Bozzo","id":"1345145667", "email":"[email protected]"}

My API wrapper has not changed over many years. Do you have an idea on what does that depend on? I first thought it was related to 'scope', but that is currently set to 'email' as always. Any changes by Facebook API guys, maybe?

This looks like as if you need to upgrade your Facebook App endpoint.

Quite a while ago they introduced a more detailed permission model and email might now fall under that.

You might also have to have a look into which FB API version you're using and if it's deprecated etc.

@fabiobozzo in early releases of the Facebook Graph API they would return a group of fields by default like in v1/v2.0 but now they tend to only send the minimum. So you need specify each field you want.

This will get the email address. userObject = facebookGraphAPI.getObject(id="me", fields="id,name,email");
