Facebook API get email address - facebook

I have to make a website to login with Facebook. Makes sense to be able to send them an email, but I can't get the email address from Facebook.
I followed exactly the instructions from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/getting-started-web/
I add it {scope:email} in FB.login.
How can I get the email address with Facebook API?
My code by now:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'app', // App ID
channelUrl : '//domain.COM/channel.php', // Channel File
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true // parse XFBML
});
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.authResponseChange', function(response) {
if (response.status === 'connected') {
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log(response);
});
} else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
FB.login(function(response) {},{scope: 'email'});
} else {
FB.login(function(response) {}, {scope: 'email'});
}
});
};
// Load the SDK asynchronously
(function(d){
var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);
}(document));
</script>
<fb:login-button show-faces="true" width="200" max-rows="1"></fb:login-button>

I ran into the same issue. Deauthorize the app from the fb account. Then authorize the app again through your test page
I found that it didn't hit the below block once I authorized the app the first time. (adding the scope:email into FB.login once the app has been authorized does no good... i think)
} else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
FB.login(function(response) {},{scope: 'email'});
} else {
FB.login(function(response) {}, {scope: 'email'});
}
hope that helps

If you have logged in successfully, calling response.email will return the user's email address.

Facebook app: permission not updating

I am making a facebook app for which i need permissions other than the basic permission. I have tried using scope as well as changing in the app settings, still I get only the basic permissions and no more other permissions. Below is the code :
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'xxxxxxxxxxxx',
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true // parse XFBML
});
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.authResponseChange', function(response) {
if (response.status === 'connected') {
testAPI();
} else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
FB.login(function(response) {
// handle the response
}, {scope:'user_photos,user_friends,friends_photos,user_status,publish_stream,user_photo_video_tags'});
} else {
FB.login(function(response) {
// handle the response
}, {scope:'user_photos,user_friends,friends_photos,user_status,publish_stream,user_photo_video_tags'});
}
});
};
// Load the SDK asynchronously
(function(d){
var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);
}(document));
function testAPI() {
console.log('Welcome! Fetching your information.... ');
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log('Good to see you, ' + response.name + '.');
});
}
});
</script>
<fb:login-button show-faces="true" width="200" max-rows="1"></fb:login-button>
</body>

I understand that it takes some time for app permissions to propagate, but I have waited for hours. Any hint on whats going wrong here?
Thanks.
Not sure why your code is not working and I am yet to try running it on my machine by I am posting a working code here. Please try using this code after following steps mentioned below
Create a new app on facebook.
In Permissions tab, select the user permissions that you want from user.
In code mentioned below, input your app id and try running it.
Code below is taken from http://hayageek.com/examples/oauth/facebook/oauth-javascript/index.php and is basic implementation of Javascript SDK.

Because you inserted the FB.getLoginStatus, which calls your login function, in window.fbAsyncInit on every page's loads.
You should fire FB.getLoginStatus only though a button, with an onclick trigger.
Here is a little example: http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/a/15720747/2212966
I have mine wrapped with a jquery button click event handler. Here is a snippet from my code:
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'my-app-id',//use your facebook appId in here
status : false,
cookie : true,
xfbml : true,
version : 'v2.2'
});
jQuery('#signUpWithFacebookButtonId').click(function(){
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.status === 'connected') {
console.log('Logged into your app and Facebook.');
} else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
console.log('The person is logged into Facebook, but not your app.');
} else {
console.log('The person is not logged into Facebook, so we are not sure if they are logged into this app or not.');
}
}, {scope: 'public_profile, email'});
});
};//end window.fbAsyncInit function

How to fire event when user logged in with Facebook

I had setup
<div id="fb-root"></div><div class="fb-login-button" data-show-faces="true" data-width="400" data-max-rows="1" scope="email, publish_stream"></div><script type="text/javascript">
window.fbAsyncInit = function () {
FB.init({
appId: 'xxx', // App ID
status: true, // check login status
cookie: true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml: true, // parse XFBML,
oauth : true
});
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.authResponseChange', function (response) {
if (response.status === 'connected') {
// the user is logged in and has authenticated your
// app, and response.authResponse supplies
// the user's ID, a valid access token, a signed
// request, and the time the access token
// and signed request each expire
var uid = response.authResponse.userID;
var accessToken = response.authResponse.accessToken;
// TODO: Handle the access token
$.post('/facebook/login', { accessToken: accessToken }, function (response) { if(response) {alert('Logged in')} });
} else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
// the user is logged in to Facebook,
// but has not authenticated your app
} else {
// the user isn't logged in to Facebook.
}
});
};
// Load the SDK Asynchronously
(function (d) {
var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) { return; }
js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);
} (document));
The problem is when user click on Login button and Accept my app, the login dialog is closed and no event is fired so my post $.post('/facebook/login') also never fired unless I press F5.
How can I fire event right after login dialog box closed?
Just sharing.
Run in to a possible solution while reading Facebook documentation for answers.
http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/questions/3548493/how-to-detect-when-facebooks-fb-init-is-complete
You could run your $.post('/facebook/login') inside fbEnsureInit(); <-- referring to serg's answer.
Using an interval callback to check for login status might be a way to do it.
You can reload the page with: window.location.reload(); so you don't need to press F5,
An FB.login example:
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
console.log('Application authorized.');
window.location.reload();
} else {
console.log('You cancelled login or you did not fully authorize the app.');
}
}, { scope: 'email' });
or you can use a subscribe event:
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.authResponseChange', function(response) {
console.log('The status of the session changed to: '+response.status);
window.location.reload();
});
