facebook.getCurrentAccessToken()

Overview

This function replaces the deprecated facebook.currentAccessToken property. It returns the access token (in the form of a table of data) used by Facebook to represent the current user.

Gotchas

• This will return nil if nobody is logged in to Facebook.

• The table returned from this function is unreliable unless facebook.isActive is true.

This function returns a table containing the data provided by a Facebook User Access Token:

• appId — String representing the Facebook App ID that you receive when you register your app.

• declinedPermissions — Table containing permissions that the user has denied through the app or through Facebook’s app settings.

• expiration — Number that corresponds to the date/time when the Facebook login token expires.

• grantedPermissions — Table containing permissions that the user has granted to the app.

• lastRefreshed — Number that corresponds to the last date/time when the Facebook login token was refreshed.

• token — String representing the access token used by Facebook to represent the current user.

• userId — String representing the ID of the logged in user. This is the same value as the id field of facebook.request( "me" ).
