    <p>I'm developing a REST service using Java with Spring, that connects to Facebook and gets some user data like name, last_name, and the most important: <strong>email</strong>. </p> <p>The service has a method that expects Facebook uid and the access token, and then it gets the user info by calling to <a href="https://graph.facebook.com/me/?fields=email,id,last_name,name&amp;access_token=XXXXX" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://graph.facebook.com/me/?fields=email,id,last_name,name&amp;access_token=XXXXX</a> and parsing the json response.</p> <p>The problem is that some users have no email in the response.. I know that there are facebook users who haven't set an email, because they create their account using a phone number. That's not the problem here.</p> <p>When I use <strong>RestTemplate</strong> class, the email is not in the response, but when I use the <strong>Graph API Explorer</strong> tool (<a href="https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/</a>), the email is there.</p> <p><br></p> <h3>With RestTemplate:</h3> <pre><code>RestTemplate rest = new RestTemplate(); String jsonResponse = rest.getForObject("https://graph.facebook.com/me/?fields=" + fields + "&amp;access_token=" + accessToken, String.class); JSONObject o = JSONObject.fromObject(jsonResponse); </code></pre> <p><br></p> <h3>Response with RestTemplate:</h3> <pre><code>{ "id": "xxxxxxxx", "last_name": "Avila", "name": "Diego Emanuel Avila" } </code></pre> <p><br></p> <h3>Response with Graph API Explorer</h3> <pre><code>{ "id": "xxxxxxxx", "email": "xxxxxx@gmail.com" "last_name": "Avila", "name": "Diego Emanuel Avila" } </code></pre> <p><br> <br> I don't know if the problem is in RestTemplate class, or in Facebook Graph API.. I don't know if I have to add a header or something like that, to get the right response from Facebook.</p> <p>Looking for an answer here, I stumbled upon with this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7603644/intermittent-missing-email-address-in-facebook-api">Intermittent missing email address in facebook API</a>, but it's not the same issue as mine.</p> <p><br> I hope I made myself clear and you can help me out with this.</p> <p>Thanks a lot!</p>

    1. CODid you try using curl or wget on your graph url, and not just using the graph api explorer? It might be worth checking out the raw api response to see if its consistently missing an email, or if something else is wrong.

    2. COHi! We try using curl, and the response have the email field.. Also, we realize that after 2 or 3 retries we get the right response (with the email). I´ve dried up all of my options :(

    3. CODo you get inconsistency in curl as well? Did you try it more than once? Just trying to rule out an API related issue before considering restclient. I found this post on github(https://github.com/mkdynamic/omniauth-facebook/issues/61) and it seems others were having issues with this as well, and its somewhat recent. It wouldn't be the first time the FB Graph API wasn't totally consistent :)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
