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). Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // 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
  final oauth2 = CkOAuth2();
  oauth2.accessToken = 'FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN';

  final rest = CkRest();

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

  // GET /v2.7/me HTTP/1.1
  // Host: graph.facebook.com
  final bAutoReconnect = true;
  try {
    rest.connect('graph.facebook.com', 443, true, bAutoReconnect);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
  rest.setAuthOAuth2(oauth2);

  final String responseJson;
  try {
    responseJson = rest.fullRequestNoBody('GET', '/v2.7/me');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print(responseJson);

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