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). React Native

import { OAuth2, Rest } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // 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
  const oauth2 = new OAuth2();
  oauth2.accessToken = 'FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN';

  const rest = new Rest();

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

  // GET /v2.7/me HTTP/1.1
  // Host: graph.facebook.com
  const bAutoReconnect = true;
  try {
    await rest.connectAsync('graph.facebook.com', 443, true, bAutoReconnect);
  } catch {
    console.log(rest.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

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

  let responseJson: string;
  try {
    responseJson = await rest.fullRequestNoBodyAsync('GET', '/v2.7/me');
  } catch {
    console.log(rest.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(responseJson);

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