Facebook get profile link after OAuth2 login

Question

I use OAuth2 login through the Facebook social network for users on the website.

Is it still possible to get the certain user\'s Facebook profile URL after login(for ex

Answer 1

It is, if the user grants permission.

You need to ask for user_link permission on login, and then you can request the link field of the user object – that will return a URL that can be used in a browser, to redirect to the actual profile.

This URL contains some form of token, and likely has limited validity - so you should not store those for long-term use, but rather request a “fresh” one when it is needed.
