Facebook graph api returns no email

I'm calling

https://graph.facebook.com/<user_id>/?access_token=<valid_token>

or just

https://graph.facebook.com/me/?access_token=<valid_token>

and getting back json object that doesn't contain primary user email which I need. I setup email permission for the app and no effect. What can be wrong?

Since the release of API version 2.5 you can get user email like this: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/me?fields=id,name,email

It is possible that the email is not verified in facebook. In this case facebook doesn't make it available via the API. Make sure your code handles this case.

I believe that your question is, even after granting permission to access email, you are not able to get email information through the Graph API. In newer versions, you need to pass fields param to the API to get additional information such as email. By default, it only provides id and name in response. Please find a sample below on how to get other info from graph :

https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=id,email,first_name,gender,last_name,link,locale,name,timezone,updated_time,verified&access_token=<value of access_token>&debug=all

Hope this helps.

Did you remember to ask for the email permission in the login request? You do this by adding the scope parameter like this in the login request (&scope=email):

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI&state=SOME_ARBITRARY_BUT_UNIQUE_STRING&scope=email

You probably do not have email permissions in your access token.

You can verify it with the Acess Token Debugger
