Get email and name Facebook SDK v4.4.0 Swift
TL;TR: How do I get the email and name of a user that is logged in on my app using the facebook SDK 4.4
So far I have managed to get login working, now I can get the current access token from anywhere in the app.
How I have my login view controller and facebook login button configured:
class LoginViewController: UIViewController, FBSDKLoginButtonDelegate {
@IBOutlet weak var loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
if(FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken() == nil)
{
print("not logged in")
}
else{
print("logged in already")
}
loginButton.readPermissions = ["public_profile","email"]
loginButton.delegate = self
}
//MARK -FB login
func loginButton(loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!, didCompleteWithResult result: FBSDKLoginManagerLoginResult!, error: NSError!) {
//logged in
if(error == nil)
{
print("login complete")
print(result.grantedPermissions)
}
else{
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
func loginButtonDidLogOut(loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!) {
//logout
print("logout")
}
Now on my main view I can get the access token like so:
let accessToken = FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken()
if(accessToken != nil) //should be != nil
{
print(accessToken.tokenString)
}
How do I get the name and email from the user that is logged in, I see many question and answers using eather an older SDK or using Objective-C.
Solution 1:
I've used fields
in android, so I figured to try it in iOS as well, and it works.
let req = FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "me", parameters: ["fields":"email,name"], tokenString: accessToken.tokenString, version: nil, HTTPMethod: "GET")
req.startWithCompletionHandler({ (connection, result, error : NSError!) -> Void in
if(error == nil) {
print("result \(result)")
} else {
print("error \(error)")
}
}
)
result will print:
result {
email = "[email protected]";
id = 123456789;
name = "Your Name";
}
Found that these fields are equal to the User
endpoint, see this link where you can see all the fields that you can get.
Update for Swift 4 and above
let r = FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "me",
parameters: ["fields": "email,name"],
tokenString: FBSDKAccessToken.current()?.tokenString,
version: nil,
httpMethod: "GET")
r?.start(completionHandler: { test, result, error in
if error == nil {
print(result)
}
})
Update for Swift 5 with FBSDKLoginKit 6.5.0
guard let accessToken = FBSDKLoginKit.AccessToken.current else { return }
let graphRequest = FBSDKLoginKit.GraphRequest(graphPath: "me",
parameters: ["fields": "email, name"],
tokenString: accessToken.tokenString,
version: nil,
httpMethod: .get)
graphRequest.start { (connection, result, error) -> Void in
if error == nil {
print("result \(result)")
}
else {
print("error \(error)")
}
}
Solution 2:
let request = GraphRequest.init(graphPath: "me", parameters: ["fields":"first_name,last_name,email, picture.type(large)"], accessToken: AccessToken.current, httpMethod: .GET, apiVersion: FacebookCore.GraphAPIVersion.defaultVersion)
request.start({ (response, requestResult) in
switch requestResult{
case .success(let response):
print(response.dictionaryValue)
case .failed(let error):
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
})
Solution 3:
For Swift 3 & Facebook SDK 4.16.0:
func getFBUserInfo() {
let request = GraphRequest(graphPath: "me", parameters: ["fields":"email,name"], accessToken: AccessToken.current, httpMethod: .GET, apiVersion: FacebookCore.GraphAPIVersion.defaultVersion)
request.start { (response, result) in
switch result {
case .success(let value):
print(value.dictionaryValue)
case .failed(let error):
print(error)
}
}
}
and will print:
Optional(["id": 1xxxxxxxxxxxxx, "name": Me, "email": [email protected]])
Solution 4:
Swift 5
Will retrieve the user email, first name, last name & their id by using the GraphRequest
class:
// Facebook graph request to retrieve the user email & name
let token = AccessToken.current?.tokenString
let params = ["fields": "first_name, last_name, email"]
let graphRequest = GraphRequest(graphPath: "me", parameters: params, tokenString: token, version: nil, httpMethod: .get)
graphRequest.start { (connection, result, error) in
if let err = error {
print("Facebook graph request error: \(err)")
} else {
print("Facebook graph request successful!")
guard let json = result as? NSDictionary else { return }
if let email = json["email"] as? String {
print("\(email)")
}
if let firstName = json["first_name"] as? String {
print("\(firstName)")
}
if let lastName = json["last_name"] as? String {
print("\(lastName)")
}
if let id = json["id"] as? String {
print("\(id)")
}
}
}
Solution 5:
Call the below function after you logged in via Facebook.
func getUserDetails(){
if(FBSDKAccessToken.current() != nil){
FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "me", parameters: ["fields": "id,name , first_name, last_name , email"]).start(completionHandler: { (connection, result, error) in
guard let Info = result as? [String: Any] else { return }
if let userName = Info["name"] as? String
{
print(userName)
}
})
}
}
