Facebook Graph API, how to get users email?

I'm using the Graph API, but I can't figure out how to get a logged-in users email address.

The intro to Graph states "The Graph API can provide access to all of the basic account registration data you would typically request in a sign-up form for your site, including name, email address, profile picture, and birthday"

All well and good, but how do I access that info?

This is what I have so far:

$json = $facebook->api('/me');

$first = $json['first_name']; // gets first name
$last = $json['last_name'];

You can retrieve the email address from the logged in user's profile. Here is the code snippet

<?php

    $facebook = new Facebook(array(
      'appId'  => $initMe["appId"],
      'secret' => $initMe["appSecret"],
    ));

    $facebook->setAccessToken($initMe["accessToken"]);
    $user = $facebook->getUser();

    if ($user) {
        $user_profile = $facebook->api('/me');
        print_r($user_profile["email"]);
    }
?>

Assuming you've requested email permissions when the user logged in from your app and you have a valid token,

With the fetch api you can just

const token = "some_valid_token";
const response = await fetch(
        `https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=email&access_token=${token}`
      );
const result = await response.json();

result will be:

{
    "id": "some_id",
    "email": "name@example.org"
}

id will be returned anyway.

You can add to the fields query param more stuff, but you need permissions for them if they are not on the public profile (name is public).

?fields=name,email,user_birthday&token=

First, activate your application at the Facebook Developer center. Applications in development mode are not allowed to retrieve the e-mail field.

If the user is not logged in, you need to login and specify that your application/site will need the e-mail field.

FB.login(
    function(response) {
         console.log('Welcome!');
    },
    {scope: 'email'}
);

Then, after the login, or if the user is already logged, retrieve the e-mail using the Facebook API, specifying the field email:

FB.api('/me', {fields: 'name,email'}, (response) => {
    console.log(response.name + ', ' + response.email);
    console.log('full response: ', response);
});

For me the problem with collecting user's email addres on PHP side (getGraphUser() method) was, that the default behavior of facebook-rendered button (on WEBSIDE side, created with xfbml=1) is to implicity calling FB.login() with the scope NOT including "email".

That means you MUST:

1) call 


FB.login(....,{scope: email})

manifestly, creating your own button to start login process

OR

2) add scope="email" attribute to the xfbml button


<div class="fb-login-button" data-size="large" data-button-type="continue_with" data-
layout="rounded" data-auto-logout-link="false" data-use-continue-as="true" data-
width="1000px" scope="email"></div>

to be able to collect email address on PHP side.

Hope it helps.
