auth.getSession

Please note: We are in the process of deprecating the REST API. We recommend using OAuth 2.0 moving forward. We will not be supporting this method in the Graph API.

Returns the session key bound to an auth_token, as returned by auth.createToken or in the callback_url. Should be called immediately after the user has logged in or connected accounts with your Facebook Connect site.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
auth_token	string	The token returned by `auth.createToken` and passed into login.php
callback	string	Name of a function to call. This is primarily to enable cross-domain JavaScript requests using the <script> tag, also known as JSONP, and works with both the XML and JSON formats. The function will be called with the response passed as the parameter.
generate_session_secret	bool	Whether to generate a temporary session secret associated with this session. This is for use only with regular sessions where the user hasn't granted your site or application the `offline_access` extended permission, for applications and sites that want to use a client-side component without exposing the application secret. Note that the application secret is still required for all server-side calls, for security reasons.
host_url	string	The full URL of the page being constructed. By providing the host URL, we can determine what base domain to use when setting cookies on the client's browser.
