I'm having a bit of trouble finding out how to get data back from the facebook user after they accept all permissions. Right now I'm just trying to make my Django app log them in (accomplished), and print their friend list to a webpage just to make sure that it's working properly. I've tried the methods posted on these webpages-

How to retrieve Facebook friend's information with Python-Social-auth and Django
Here is the code that I have so far-
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, render
from django.template.context import RequestContext
import urllib2
from urllib2 import urlopen
import json
def friendlist(request):
social_user = request.user.social_auth.filter(
provider='facebook',
).first()
goodies = []
if social_user:
#print social_user
url = u'https://graph.facebook.com/{0}/' \
u'friends?fields=id,name,location,picture' \
u'&access_token={1}'.format(
social_user.uid,
social_user.extra_data['access_token'],
)
request = urllib2.Request(url)
friends = json.loads(urllib2.urlopen(request).read()).get('data')
for friend in friends:
goodies.append(friend.get('name'))
return render_to_response('thirdauth/friendlist.html', {'friends': goodies})
def home(request):
context = RequestContext(request,
{'request': request,
'user': request.user})
#print request.user
return render_to_response('thirdauth/home.html',
context_instance=context)
Then, when I make it print out goodies it has no data at all. I'm just wondering what I'm doing wrong.
My settings.py file probably doesn't need to be tampered with, but this is what I've done with it.
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'social.apps.django_app.default',
'thirdauth',
)
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.core.context_processors.debug',
'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
'django.core.context_processors.media',
'django.core.context_processors.static',
'django.core.context_processors.tz',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
'social.apps.django_app.context_processors.backends',
'social.apps.django_app.context_processors.login_redirect',
)
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'social.backends.facebook.FacebookOAuth2',
'social.backends.google.GoogleOAuth2',
'social.backends.twitter.TwitterOAuth',
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)
SOCIAL_AUTH_FACEBOOK_KEY = '1*************'
SOCIAL_AUTH_FACEBOOK_SECRET = '43************************'
FACEBOOK_EXTENDED_PERMISSIONS = ['email']
SOCIAL_AUTH_FACEBOOK_SCOPE = [
'publish_actions',
'email',
'user_friends',
'user_birthday',
'public_profile',
'user_about_me',
'user_likes',
'user_location',
'user_photos',
'user_posts',
'user_relationships',
'user_status',
'user_tagged_places',
'user_work_history',
]
urls.py looks like this-
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from thirdauth import views
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'thirdauth.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^$', 'thirdauth.views.home', name='home'),
url('', include('social.apps.django_app.urls', namespace='social')),
url('', include('django.contrib.auth.urls', namespace='auth')),
url('^friends/', views.friendlist, name="friendlist"),
)
Thank you so much for the help!
