Fetching facebook user events using graph.

Question

I am trying to write an application that uses facebook user's events as a possible data source and unfortunately I can log in and get an access token which I can use to get my picture and UID but when I try to access my events I get an empty array.

Does anyone know how I can go about doing this?

I am using Facebook's new Graph API but I must be doing something wrong, I tried using "perm" to get extra user permissions to access their "user_events" but that did not work at all. I am stumped any help would be greatly appreciated.

best regards!! -ritec

Answer 1

When you do the authentication bit, you'll also need to request access to the user_events extended permission.

This question has a little more info from someone in a similar position as you.

Further instructions for prompting for extended permissions can be found in the Extended Permissions documentation.
