How to retrieve authData from a ParseUser?

I'm trying to retrieve the authData field from a ParseUser. With Parse 1.9.1, I used to do it like so:

ParseUser user = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
HashMap authDataMap = (HashMap)user.get("authData");
HashMap facebookMap = (HashMap)authDataMap.get("facebook");
String facebookId = (String)facebookMap.get("id");

And this worked fine.

Something changed though. I don't know if it's because I updated to Parse 1.9.2 or if something changed on the Parse server side, but authData is no longer accessible. The line user.get("authData") returns null. Even if I re-fetch the user.

Ultimately I want to retrieve the Facebook id from the ParseUser, preferably without reaching out to Facebook. Is this no longer possible?

Have you taken a look at Facebook Users section in the Parse.com documentation. I think authData is for internal communication, not meant to be called (any more).

If you are using ParseFacebookUtils to perform login Facebook user then after successfully login from in parse try to get GraphUser using following to fetch Facebook user data-

                    Request.newMeRequest(ParseFacebookUtils.getSession(),
                            new Request.GraphUserCallback() {
                                @Override
                                public void onCompleted(
                                        final GraphUser fbUser,
                                        Response response) {

                                    try {

                                        if (fbUser != null
                                                && parseUser != null
                                                && fbUser.getName()
                                                        .length() > 0) {

                                          // Facebook user data
                                          String fbId = fbUser.getId();

                                        } else {
                                          // Facebook user not logged in
                                        }
                                    } catch (Exception e) {
                                        e.printStackTrace();
                                        stopLoading();

                                    }
                                }
                            }).executeAsync();
