Facebook api email

The Facebook API!

To access a user's email address using the Facebook API, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Register your app

  1. Go to the Facebook for Developers website and create a new app.
  2. Fill in the required information, such as app name, contact email, and privacy policy URL.
  3. Click "Create App" to create your app.

Step 2: Request email permission

  1. In the Facebook app dashboard, go to the "Products" tab and click on "Facebook Login".
  2. Click on the "Settings" icon (three horizontal lines) next to "Facebook Login" and select "App Review".
  3. Scroll down to the "Permissions" section and click on "Add Permission".
  4. Search for "email" and select the "email" permission.
  5. Click "Add Permission" to add the permission to your app.

Step 3: Request email access

  1. In your app, you'll need to request email access from the user. You can do this by using the Facebook SDK to prompt the user to grant permission.

  2. For example, in JavaScript, you can use the Facebook SDK to prompt the user to grant permission:

    FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
 // User granted permission
 FB.api('/me', { fields: 'email' }, function(response) {
   // Get the user's email address
   console.log(response.email);
 });
} else {
 // User denied permission
}
});

    Step 4: Handle email access

  3. Once the user grants permission, you can use the Facebook API to retrieve their email address.

  4. In the example above, we use the FB.api method to retrieve the user's email address. The fields parameter specifies that we want to retrieve the email field.

  5. The response object will contain the user's email address, which you can log to the console or use in your app.
