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.

My application allows for user authentication via Facebook. I am calling FB Graph API to get details on a logged in user like so...
https://graph.facebook.com/<fbUserId>
But sometimes I see that email address is not one of the fields which is returned. I think this is because when the user was prompted to allow my app access to their public profile and email address, the user chose not to provide their email address. However my application needs email addresses. Is there any way I can tell FB through the Graph API to make that "Edit the info you provide" dialog to reappear so the user can subsequently choose to give their email address?
I think you're asking about how to re-prompt users who denied a permission, so that they're asked to grant the already-declined permission?
If so, you can check which permissions were granted and then re-prompt for those which were previously declined - as you noted, users aren't prompted multiple times to accept a permission if they've already declined it
To re-request, use auth_type: rerequest in your call to FB.Login() (javascript) or your call to the Login dialog; I believe the mobile SDKs handle this automatically (e.g. FBSDKLoginManager in the IOS SDK)
Note that with your specific example, it's possible a user won't have an email address accessible via the API even if they do grant you the email permission, as they may have an unreachable address, be a user without a confirmed address, have signed up to Facebook using a mobile phone number, etc
As a result, you may need to build a UI for users to manually supply their email address anyway, if that info is truly necessary for your app
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.
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

Also I m not able to get the email id of any of the facebook friends.Can I get the emails of the users facebook friends in my iPhone App ?
Please help me out

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.
I want users to able to sign up in my application(rails) using facebook connect.
However I am not very sure what all information of the user will be available ,specifically the email of the user. I know that the emails of the user's friends are not available, but not sure if the email of the user himself is available.
You can prompt the user for email extended permission.
