Search Facebook api not working with email

Question

Is there any way with Graph api of Facebook using which I can pass an email parameter and I can get at least Facebook profile page and Facebook Id of the user?

E.g If i have an email xxx@gmail.com and I want to search the profile page registered on this email and its Facebook ID.

I have tried this sort of search but It didn't work

Answer 1

If you're an app and you have the right permissions, you can get the users email address with

me?fields=name,email

(try with the API explorer here)

It's not possible to get the user's friend's email address or find email addresses through the search api.

Answer 2

type=post is for post search, you should try using

https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=email_to_search&type=user

Which will search into users instead of posts

Answer 3

I dont see email on the API, it may not be allowed?
