Retrieve user profile from facebook in NodeJS
Posted By : Udit Kaul | 25-May-2016
In some scenarios you need to retieve user profile details from facebook
I assume that you have obtained an access token and if not here is the link to generate an access token https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer for testing purposes.
var Protocol='https://';
var facebookHost='graph.facebook.com'
var facebookPath='/me?fields=email,id,gender,first_name,last_name&access_token='; //The fields attribute can have list of all the information you want to retrieve such as picture to the get the link of the user's display picture
var fbUrl = Protocol+facebookHost+facebookPath+token;
async.auto({
res:function(next,result){
return configurationHolder.http.get(fbUrl,next)
}
},function(err,results){
//results will hold user profile data retrieved from facebook
})
Hope tha the information was helpful,
THANKS
