How to get email from facebook through Guzzle in laravel? - facebook

Question

I am using below code to login via facebook in laravel.
Referring https://scotch.io/tutorials/token-based-authentication-for-angularjs-and-laravel-apps for token based authentication and using https://github.com/sahat/satellizer for social media integration.
$params = [
'code' => $request->input('code'),
'client_id' => $request->input('clientId'),
'redirect_uri' => $request->input('redirectUri'),
'client_secret' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
/*'client_secret' => Config::get('app.facebook_secret')*/
];
// Step 1. Exchange authorization code for access token.
$accessTokenResponse = $client->request('GET', 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/oauth/access_token', [
'query' => $params
]);
$accessToken = json_decode($accessTokenResponse->getBody(), true);
// Step 2. Retrieve profile information about the current user.
$profileResponse = $client->request('GET', 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/me', [
'query' => $accessToken
]);
$profile = json_decode($profileResponse->getBody(), true);
$profile returning only fb id and user name.
What changes should I do to get email from facebook.

Answer 1

Use below code in your step 2.
$fields = 'id,email,first_name,last_name,link,name';
$profileResponse = $client->request('GET', 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/me', [
'query' => [
'access_token' => $accessToken['access_token'],
'fields' => $fields
]
]);

Answer 2

Replace this:
'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/me'
with this:
'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/me?fields=name,email'
It´s called "Declarative Fields", see changelog.
Also, you need to authorize with the email permission, of course. And the email has to be confirmed. You can´t be 100% sure to get an email, some users use their phone number to login.
