Facebook JS API: How do I read user data?

siege

I've gotten the login to successfully work using the Facebook JS API. What I'm completely stuck on now is the ability to read (get) and parse specific data. I have tried looking through there documentation but have not found specifically what I'm looking for. Specifically I am requesting => read_stream.

Does anyone know how to get this data and parse it? Please let me know if you need to see more code.

function login(){
    alert(  ' > login');
    FB.login(function(response) {
        if (response.authResponse) {
            //console.log('Welcome!  Fetching your information.... ');
            alert( ' > login > ' + 'Welcome!  Fetching your information.... ');
            FB.api('/me', function(response) {
                //console.log('Good to see you, ' + response.name + '.');
                alert("[fbCommon]" + ' > login > ' + 'Good to see you, ' + response.name + '.');
            });
        } else {
            alert(' > login > ' + 'User cancelled login or did not fully authorize.');
            //console.log('User cancelled login or did not fully authorize.');
        }
    }, {scope: 'read_stream'});
}

As far as I can see, all that code does is attempt a login with the given permission, and all you get back is whether or not the login was successful. And that gets handled by the callback you supplied to the login function. There are a few alert boxes around in that callback so that you know which bit is run if the login is successful and which bit is run if it's not.

If you want something to happen if the login is successful, like requesting data from the stream, you have to write code for it and put a call to it in the appropriate branch of the login handler.

Thanks for your response. Yes, thats exactly what it does. I just don't know exactly what to do from here. Could you please show me?
Here is what I have so far.... I just dont know how to grab the data. I could really use the help if you/someone has the time.

    <body onload="onReady()">

    <div id="fb-root" style="display: none;"></div>
    <script>
        window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
            FB.init({
                appId      : '<myIDHere>', // App ID
                channelUrl : 'pages_fb/channel.html', // Channel File
                status     : true, // check login status
                cookie     : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
                xfbml      : true  // parse XFBML
            });

            // Additional initialization code here
            fbApiInit = true; //init flag
        };

        // Load the SDK Asynchronously
        (function(d){
            var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
            if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
            js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
            js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
            ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);
        }(document));

        // listen for and handle auth.statusChange events
        FB.Event.subscribe('auth.statusChange', function(response) {
            if (response.authResponse) {
                // user has auth'd your app and is logged into Facebook
                FB.api('/me', function(me){
                    if (me.name) {
                        document.getElementById('auth-displayname').innerHTML = me.name;
                    }

                })
                document.getElementById('auth-loggedout').style.display = 'none';
                document.getElementById('auth-loggedin').style.display = 'block';
            } else {
                // user has not auth'd your app, or is not logged into Facebook
                document.getElementById('auth-loggedout').style.display = 'block';
                document.getElementById('auth-loggedin').style.display = 'none';
            }
        });
        FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function(response) {
            FB.api('/me', function(response) {
                alert("[doc] > Yes, " + response.name + " is logged in!");
            });
        });
    </script>
