There are some question on the StackOverflow about facebook & email, but after reading them I still have a problem with retrieving users emails.
Our app implemented on Flex and uses REST API. And previously it used notifications.sendEmail.
App has publish_stream and email permissions (checked with users.hasAppPermission).
I tried users.getInfo for get proxied_email address.
But this function does not return email address of the friend..
Then I performed the following test using Graph API and web browser:
Opened the following link for authorization with extended permissions:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=[app_id]&scope=publish_stream,offline_access,email&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html
It returned code for retrieving access_token
Oppened the following link for retrieving access_token
graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=[app_id]&client_secret=[secret]&code=[code]&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html
It returned access_token. And now I can use GraphAPI.
Tested with my account
graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=[token]
Ok. It returned my emal.
Tested with my friend
graph.facebook.com/[friend_id]?access_token=[token]
And here is no email field!
So my questions are
Where did I go wrong?
Is it possible to get friend's email via Facebook API (GraphAPI or REST API)?
Thanks.
Email permission gives access to your email only.
If you look at the extended permissions page it says:
Likewise, to protect the privacy of users who have not explicitly authorized your application, your application will only be able to access the basic profile information about a user's friends, like their names and profile pictures. If your application needs to access other data about a user's friends to enable social functionality, you will need to request some of the special friends permissions listed below.
And if you look at the table below, it says "not available" for email permission for friends.
there ought to be some way else how does JanRain does it?

I think that getting friends' email ids is not permitted by Facebook; at least, that's what my research tells me.
#helloworld: Who told you that janrain gets users' friends' email ids?
Only with the extended permission you can specify via the scope attribute, when obtaining the access token
Example:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?
client_id=...&
redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/callback&
scope=email

We have developed a signup via LinkedIn app.
We currently get the default “lite profile” but need access to the “basic profile”
We’ve tried reaching out to all parts of LinkedIn but to no avail.
The links to the Partner Program Page also seem deprecated.
Can someone please share how we can get the upgraded permissions pls?
To access any of the basic profile fields, your application must request the r_basicprofile member permission. Check out the field names here
To access email address your application must request the r_emailaddress member permission with field name email-address
My end goal is to register my API to receive notifications of leads generated by LinkedIn for my business's Company Page. The docs here say I need to register at https://api.linkedin.com/v2/leadNotificationUrls using the r_ads_ge_automation permission. I'm trying to acquire this type of access token by using a web browser to hit https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization?response_type=code&client_id=client_id_for_my_application&redirect_uri=https://my.company.net/api/oauth/linkedin&state=Testing12345&scope=r_ads_leadgen_automation, then logging in as a user that is an admin for the respective company page, then acquiring authentication code, and finally requesting an access token.
The problem is that when I try to hit https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization (with the query params above), I get an error response stating "r_ads_leadgen is not authorized for your application". I can't find any kind of application configuration that is supposed to give this permission to my application.
Can anyone help? Thank you
Permissions are offered to select Partners only. Have you applied to a Partner Program https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/marketing-partners/become-a-partner?
Asking the question here as the linkedin help forum directed to post things related to API on stackoverflow.
I am developing a feature on our org website to show the top 5 company page feeds setup in linkedin. Ive already setup the required access in developer.linkedin and the whole flow works in the developer.linkedin REST console to fetch the feed.
I am currently recieving this error when i try from my machine to fetch the auth token with a valid client id and secret created.
https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=OMITTED&client_secret=OMITTED
{
"error": "access_denied",
"error_description": "This application is not allowed to create application tokens" }
The documentation also mentions that this flow isn't available by default and the users will need to contact linkedin.
https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/v2/oauth2-client-credentials-flow
"By default, your application will not have the ability to use LinkedIn's client credentials flow. Contact us to have your application granted permission to use this flow."
What would be the next steps in requesting access to this flow for my org?.
As outlined here:
By default, your application will not have the ability to use LinkedIn's client credentials flow. Contact us to have your application granted permission to use this flow.
The next step would be to contact them directly or Apply to become a Partner
and if accepted you'll be granted access to additional data outside of the scope of the user authentication flow (which basically means you'll be able to make calls directly from your application to access certain information)
I think the answer is well explained by API-University, since the creation of an application in order to get the access_token, will solve the communication issue.

We have an ASP.NET application where we need user's email in order to further send them transactional email. We have added Twitter Signup but not getting email address along with access_token.
We have checked twitter documentation and their FAQs for the same but have had no luck so far. The FAQ says that we need to ask for user's email in as a distinct act:
recently I came to a website http://medium.com which asks for email while authentication in it's scope, please refer to the image below:
I'm not sure how do I add email scope to my twitter application. Any help is highly appreciated!
It is not possible to get user's email address from twitter.
This can be made possible by filling out a form to request elevated permissions:
Go to https://support.twitter.com/forms/platform
Select "I need access to special permissions"
Enter Application Name and ID. These can be obtained via
https://apps.twitter.com/ -- the application ID is the numeric part
in the browser's address bar after you click your app.
Permissions Request: "Email address" Submit & wait for response
I am developing an ASP.NET application.
I implemented Facebook API in my application now I want to access email addresses of my friends on Facebook.
I successfully connected Facebook with my application, but when I use FacebookApi.friends.GetList() it will give only friends userids then I will fire a FQL for each friend userid to access email but some time I got blank instead of email address.
Can someone help.
Which is best way facebook rest API or graph API?
The answer is almost certainly that one of the following is true:
The user hasn't shared an email address with Facebook
The user has placed you in a privacy group they deign to share their email address with
The user has set their privacy settings to not share their email address at all
If any of these are true, there's nothing you can do to resolve this short of asking your friends to change their privacy settings.
You need to ask for permission "email" to access email address of any user using your app, the reason why you are getting some email addresses is because few of Facebook users relatively have less restrictive privacy settings.
