Facebook social login get user name, email, phone

Question

I would like to know what are the prerequirements for facebook API to allow a PHP web page to pull the following user data:

• name
• email
• phone

As far as I understand, pulling the phone number requires that your website is whitelisted with facebook / Websense ?

Please advice.

Thank you!

Answer 1

As Facebook uses OAuth, you have to build a so-called login flow. See the docs at

• Facebook Login for the Web with the JavaScript SDK
• Manually Build a Login Flow

Within this flow, you have to request permissions from the user . For your use case, you'll need

• public_profile
• email

There's no chance to get the phone number out of the Graph API.
