Get Current User Information

See more Facebook Examples

Demonstrates how to retrieve information about the current Facebook user. This is the most basic thing to get working first (after obtaining an access token). C++

#include <CkOAuth2.h>
#include <CkRest.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    //  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  This example assumes we previously obtained an access token
    CkOAuth2 oauth2;
    oauth2.put_AccessToken("FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN");

    CkRest rest;

    //  Connect to Facebook and send the following GET request:

    //  GET /v2.7/me HTTP/1.1
    //  Host: graph.facebook.com
    bool bAutoReconnect = true;
    success = rest.Connect("graph.facebook.com",443,true,bAutoReconnect);
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
    rest.SetAuthOAuth2(oauth2);

    const char *responseJson = rest.fullRequestNoBody("GET","/v2.7/me");
    if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
        std::cout << rest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << responseJson << "\r\n";

    //  The responseJson looks like this:
    //  {"name":"John Doe","id":"10111011320111110"}
    }
