Am developing a system for an app to award points users for recruiting their friends. When the friend accepts the request I can retrieve the id of the person who invited them but can not find their email.
Have tried:
$fbInviter = $facebook->api("/$inviterId", 'GET');
$fbInvEmail = $fbInviter['email'];
but it appears ['email'] isn't in the returned array.
The app requests permission from each user when the first access it aswell as requesting offline access so permissions shouldn't be a problem.
Any ideas?
There is no way to get the email address for a Facebook user other than the current user, and the current user's address is only available if they've granted you the email extended permission

I know this is not a right question for SO format. I am asking as many experts are here.
My friend have a fake account (this fake account is not in my friend list). I want to know the email id with which he logged in for the fake account.
I tried http://graph.facebook.com/username.
Here username is the userid or the username (that FB creates).
Is there any way where I can get the user email id with which the user gets logged in?
Given that revealing a person's email without consent would be a violation of that person's privacy, this is not possible.
The only way to get access to this data would be to have the user grant the email permission to your app, at which point you could use /me?fields=email.
I'm an admin of this facebook application. And when user join the app, I have "scope=email" so that my app can read the user's email address.
This is working mostly, but I just found that some player's email are missing in the db.
My question is..
How do I debug and see if facebook is returning email address for this particular user (I have facebook id)? I tried "Graph API Explorer", but it seems that I can only see my own email address.
And how do I get a list of permission that a user has given to my app?
Did more investigations and found that we need the player's access token - an active one.
I'm developing an web application in Java and using facebook account for login to my applications.

It always shows null. How do i get the email ids of my facebook friends.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Currently, this is not supported by Facebook. You cannot get user's friends' email, regardless of what permissions the user gives your app. Refer to the this for details.
I own an application which has already granted the send-email extended permission. Unfortunately I didn't record the email address's upon their login process. Is there any way to get email of users now, even if they are not logged in?
Keep in mind that they have already granted the email extended permission, but unfortunately I didn't store their emails.
If you recorded their Facebook user ID, you could try to call graph.facebook.com/userID?access_token=... with your application access token or appID|appSecret.

I don't think you can get email of friends. Although you can send an email to uids provided they have granted permission to you app.
A comma-separated list of recipient user IDs. The recipients must be people who have already authorized your application. You can email up to 100 people at a time.
Beyond general information you are require extended permissions which requires authentication (which you are using). Any extended permission works only with the user who has granted it to. So your app's user's friends will have to grant the permission to email before you can send them one. In other words, you can send a notification email to those friends of your user who have added your app and have granted you the permission to email. Facebook has this page on communicating via email.
