Question

I’m working on login to discussion on my web using facebook. I finally figured out how to do oauth authorization. But I really don’t want extra informations about user, I don’t need them and I don’t know why should I ask for them. All I need is authentication (user id).

What’s the best way to do this?

Answer 1

You have to be granted basic permissions to get the user’s id. This is the minimum amount of permission that a user can grant to you.

You said you have figured out oauth – what method/language are you using? If its JS then you just need this:

 FB.login(function(response) {
   if (response.authResponse) {
     console.log('Welcome!');
   } else {
     console.log('User cancelled login or did not fully authorize.');
   }
 });
