Question

What is the most current method to determine if a Facebook User has installed an application? I see that there is an “installed” field on the “permissions” connection of a user object, but that requires an access_token to test. What happened to isAppUser and why does this URL say the following:

Please use the Graph API User object and GET /[UID]?field=installed to
check if a user is has TOSed that app.

The referenced /[UID]?field=installed does nothing.

This is working for me when asking for ‘fields’ – the docs appear to be referencing ‘field’ which I think is incorrect, I’ll get it updated if that’s the case:

e.g.

GET https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=installed&access_token=<SNIPPED TOKEN>

Returns:

{
   "installed": true,
   "id": "<SNIPPED ID>"
}

A call to /me/permissions is probably what you want in most cases as this will also show the extended permissions granted to your app
