Facebook Graph API - Get a facebook user's birthday (without requiring the user to allow permission)

Question

How can I get a user's birthday (without requiring the user to allow explicit Permissions)?

I am using the Graph API to get the user's information like the link: https://graph.facebook.com/mhiella.vexiia (Note: Deprecated API) But I don't see the user's birthday.

Answer 1

You can't get a user's birthday without an Extended Profile Permission of user_birthday. This means that you MUST have an Access Token with a user_birthday permission in order to access any user's birthday.

Without an access token, you can only retrieve Public Profile Data for a particular user.
