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). Rust

// 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
let oauth2 = chilkat::OAuth2::new();
oauth2.set_access_token("FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN");

let rest = chilkat::Rest::new();

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

// GET /v2.7/me HTTP/1.1
// Host: graph.facebook.com
let b_auto_reconnect = true;
if rest.connect("graph.facebook.com", 443, true, b_auto_reconnect).is_err() {
    println!("{}", rest.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
let _ = rest.set_auth_o_auth2(&oauth2);

let Ok(response_json) = rest.full_request_no_body("GET", "/v2.7/me") else {
    println!("{}", rest.last_error_text());
    return;
};

println!("{}", response_json);

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