getting email from javascript API in VKontakte

Question

I currently working on the javascript SDK to implement VK Connect on my website.

Everything is working good except that I'm not able to get the user's email.

Here is the call I make :

VK.Auth.login(function(response) {
    console.info(response);
}, 4194304);

The number "4194304" is the bit maks of email as it mentionned here : https://vk.com/dev/permissions

In the response I didn't manage to receive the email. Moreover I didn't find a method that can return email in vk documentation.

Is everybody has already faced this problem?

Thanks a lot!

It is possible to get email with OAuth token. It's complicated for some reason. https://vk.com/dev/auth_sites

Email auth permission code:

email (+4194304) User e-mail access. Available only for sites.

Thanks for your answer! If I understand we can subscribe to this social network without giving his email? – david yeah Jun 10 '15 at 19:52
Yes, just using a phone number. – sobolevn Jun 10 '15 at 20:12
