How to discover which friends accepted invites with Facebook API?
TLDR: Save the response from the actual invite these friends request
As far as I understood the reference you provided:
You can start requesting invite_token
s which I assume you are already able to do.
As answer you get this per invitable_friend
:
{ "id": "AVlzYTkXshfBqLe58zR9tY5dZ7L0wltTUkWKT0Z5V87zkwv-39...", // Invite Token "name": "Guy Cross", "picture": { "data": { "is_silhouette": false, "url": "https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-prn1/t5.0-1/623782_622770420_2109148508_q.jpg" } }}
The page mentions earlier how to do requests in general:
FB.ui({method: 'apprequests', message: 'YOUR_MESSAGE_HERE', to: 'USER_ID, USER_ID, INVITE_TOKEN' // It says invite token}, function(response){ console.log(response);});
Look at the line with to
: You can put invite tokens in there.
Now the response looks like this:
{ request: 'REQUEST_OBJECT_ID' to:[array of USER_IDs]}
There you got your user ids.
If you go further and either need more informations or want to see who accepted, then you have two options:
- you can check if the user id has authorized the game
- when the new user logs in, you can ask for all requests for this new user. There you can track who invited him.
GET https://graph.facebook.com/me/apprequests?access_token=[USER ACCESS TOKEN]
- you save all the data (stated in TLDR) and check everytime a new user joins your game, if the new user id is in your list of requests mentioned.
To check who invited him, you can do check the request_object_id
with http://graph.facebook.com/{REQUEST_OBJECT_ID}?access_token=USER_ACCESS_TOKEN
of the recieving user and the following response will be:
{ "id": "REQUEST_OBJECT_ID", "application": { "name": "APP_DISPLAY_NAME", "namespace": "APP_NAMESPACE", "id": "APP_ID" }, "to": { "name": "RECIPIENT_FULL_NAME", "id": "RECIPIENT_USER_ID" }, "from": { "name": "SENDER_FULL_NAME", "id": "SENDER_USER_ID" }, "message": "ATTACHED_MESSAGE", "created_time": "2014-01-17T16:39:00+0000"}
if you go with the user access token from the sender you get this:
{ "id": "REQUEST_OBJECT_ID", "application": { "name": "APP_DISPLAY_NAME", "namespace": "APP_NAMESPACE", "id": "APP_ID" }, "from": { "name": "SENDER_FULL_NAME", "id": "SENDER_USER_ID" }, "message": "ATTACHED_MESSAGE", "created_time": "2014-01-17T16:39:00+0000"}
To prevent this, you can specify the user id of the recieving user and get the same answer as from the receiver: https://graph.facebook.com/{REQUEST_OBJECT_ID}_{USER_ID}?access_token={APP_ACCESS_TOKEN}
