_x000D_ _x000D_ I have a Facebook desktop application and am using the Graph API. I am able to get the access token, but after that is done - I don't know how to get the user's ID. My flow is like this: I send the user to https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize with all required extended permissions. In my redirect page I get the code from Facebook. Then I perform a HTTP request to graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token with my API key and I get the access token in the response. From that point on I can't get the user ID. How can this problem be solved?
