Without user authorization, there is no way you can get any user data, you are not even supposed to get the name of the user:

  • That ID looks like a global ID. You can only get the global/real ID by scraping the user profile, which is not allowed on Facebook.
  • After authorization, you will get an "App Scoped ID", but you should always use /me to get user data.
  • Authorize the user with the correct permissions to get more data than just the name. For example, use the email permission to get the email: /me?fields=name,email
  • Without specific authorization of the user, you are not allowed to store or use his data in any way.
