Question

I’m trying to retrieve users events using the facebook php sdk, but i’m stuck, the api return an empty array

$user = $me['id'];
$fql = "SELECT eid, name, start_time, end_time 
    FROM event 
    WHERE eid IN (SELECT eid 
                  FROM event_member 
                  WHERE uid = 1552544515) 
    ORDER BY start_time LIMIT 5";
$params = array(
    'method' => 'fql.query',
    'query' => $fql,
);
try {
$result = $facebook->api($params);
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}

thanks in advance.

If this is returning nothing, the most likely reason is that your user hasn’t granted the user_events Permission during the Authentication flow.

Looking at your comments above, you may have added user_events to the permissions granted when a user goes through the Authenticated Referrals flow or via App Center, but regular users accessing the app directly need to go through one of the authentication flows from the document above, you’re probably not doing this
