=head1 NAME
Net::Facebook::Oauth2 - a simple Perl wrapper around Facebook OAuth 2.0 protocol
=for html
=head1 SYNOPSIS
Somewhere in your application's login process:
use Net::Facebook::Oauth2;
my $fb = Net::Facebook::Oauth2->new(
application_id => 'your_application_id',
application_secret => 'your_application_secret',
callback => 'http://yourdomain.com/facebook/callback'
);
# get the authorization URL for your application
my $url = $fb->get_authorization_url(
scope => [ 'name', 'email', 'profile_picture' ],
display => 'page'
);
Now redirect the user to this C<$url>.
Once the user authorizes your application, Facebook will send him/her back
to your application, on the C link provided above. PLEASE NOTE
THAT YOU MUST PRE-AUTHORIZE YOUR CALLBACK URI ON FACEBOOK'S APP DASHBOARD.
Inside that callback route, use the verifier code parameter that Facebook
sends to get the access token:
# param() below is a bogus function. Use whatever your web framework
# provides (e.g. $c->req->param('code'), $cgi->param('code'), etc)
my $code = param('code');
use Try::Tiny; # or eval {}, or whatever
my ($unique_id, $access_token);
try {
$access_token = $fb->get_access_token(code => $code); # <-- could die!
# Facebook tokens last ~2h, but you may upgrade them to ~60d if you want:
$access_token = $fb->get_long_lived_token( access_token => $access_token );
my $access_data = $fb->debug_token( input => $access_token );
if ($access_data && $access_data->{is_valid}) {
$unique_id = $access_data->{user_id};
# you could also check here for what scopes were granted to you
# by inspecting $access_data->{scopes}->@*
}
} catch {
# handle errors here!
};
If you got so far, your user is logged! Save this access token in your
database or session. As shown in the example above, Facebook also provides
a unique I for this token so you can associate it with a particular
user of your app.
Later on you can use it to communicate with Facebook on behalf of this user:
my $fb = Net::Facebook::Oauth2->new(
access_token => $access_token
);
my $info = $fb->get(
'https://graph.facebook.com/v3.1/me' # Facebook API URL
);
print $info->as_json;
