Get user age_range with gigya

Using the socialize.getUserInfo for the 2.0 version of the Facebook API doesn't return the age_range attribute.

Is there a way to get the age_range with gigya and avoid asking the user for the age extra permission?

I'm reading the docs here: http://developers.gigya.com/020_Client_API/010_Socialize/socialize.getUserInfo

But I can't find any clues on this

Solution

  • Gigya only pulls back data from the social provider that has been made available to it and that Gigya maps internally. Gigya currently does not map the age_range so this value will not ever be returned with the call to socialize.getUserInfo.

    Instead, to return this data using Gigya, you must use the socialize.facebookGraphOperation endpoint to request the Facebook Graph endpoint /profile that would allow you to return this data. This means that you also need to configure your Facebook Application (under the facebook developers console) to request the age extra permission.
