Meteor trying to get Facebook details

I am trying to get the user birthday and user location.

Accounts.ui.config({
  requestPermissions: {
 facebook: ['user_birthday', 'user_location'],}});

When I sign in with facebook, it does ask me for the permissions for these.

var service = _.pairs(user.services)[0];
var serviceName = service[0];
var serviceData = service[1];

All my facebook details are retrieved from serviceData but birthday and location are not there. Can anyone help? Thanks

You might need to fetch those information Facebook graph API.

The Facebook accessToken will available in users collections. you will get it in users collection document as follows-

{

 ..........
services:
{
  facebook:{
   accessToken: <actual-fb-acesstoken>

  }
.....

}

With this access token you can get whatever information you want from facebook

One such reference is as follows -
