I am able to get the name and email like this:

FB.api('/me', function(response)
{
  alert ("Name when logged in:" + response.name);
  alert ("Name when logged in:" + response.email);
});

But in the FB documentation, I don't see how to get address. Also, how can I download their photo?

As I understand it, their photo can be retrieved from this url:

But how do I get their facebook user id?

Also, to get the address, I am trying something like this:

          alert ("Location:" + response.location);
          alert ("Location:" + response.location.city);
          alert ("Location:" + response.location.country);
          alert ("Location:" + response.location.zip);
          alert ("Location:" + response.location.state);

But that doesn't work. Anyone know how to get at these fields? Thanks!

• @Genadinik I see. Perfectly valid I suppose... but now I know why I never got into FB :P – Joseph Marikle Commented Aug 3, 2011 at 13:20
• @Joseph if you think about it, it is the same info as you would give when creating an account on many other sites. – Genadinik Commented Aug 3, 2011 at 13:24

FB.api('/me') Will give you the user's id without requiring any special permissions.

You can't get address as such, you can get location using the user_location permission. Then you'll be able to get it via the same /me method.

Facebook Developers doc:
https://developers.facebook./docs/reference/api/user/

Actually all that info is here: http://developers.facebook./docs/reference/api/user/

But it took a long time to find that page!
