Facebook Js Sdk'S Fb.API('/Me') Method Doesn't Return the Fields I Expect in Graph API V2.4+

Facebook JS SDK's FB.api('/me') method doesn't return the fields I expect in Graph API v2.4+

You need to manually specify each field since Graph API v2.4:

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_4
• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/javascript/reference/FB.api

Declarative Fields
To try to improve performance on mobile networks, Nodes and Edges in v2.4 requires that you explicitly request the field(s) you need for your GET requests. For example, GET /v2.4/me/feed no longer includes likes and comments by default, but GET /v2.4/me/feed?fields=comments,likes will return the data. For more details see the docs on how to request specific fields.

E.g.

FB.api('/me', 'get', { access_token: token, fields: 'id,name,gender' }, function(response) {
    console.log(response);
});

Facebook graph api not returning all public fields

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api#reading

Check out the section "Choosing Fields", you have to ask for fields you want to get, else you will only get some default ones.

Unable to get the email and first_name from Facebook JavaScript SDK

Fb.api(  '/me?fields=id,email,first_name,last_name', function(response) { console.log('Successful login for: ' + response.name); console.log(JSON.stringify(response)); });

Also remember that some fields require user permissions also.

And to run on localhost you need to add localhost in your app setting's app domain.
Good luck

How to get person's address using Facebook Javascript SDK?

FB.api('/me') Will give you the user's id without requiring any special permissions.

You can't get address as such, you can get location using the user_location permission. Then you'll be able to get it via the same /me method.
