Getting an authed Facebook user's age without further permissions prompts

Question

With the Facebook Graph API, is it possible to get a user\'s age (or age range) without first prompting for the user_birthday or friends_birthday permi

Answer 1

You can't (-_-;)

Age requires user_birthday or friends_birthday permission.

Example http://graph.facebook.com/68310606562?fields=id,name,birthday

If not simply you can get the founder age.

Answer 2

This depends; if you are building a canvas app you can parse the *signed_request* parameter, which will have an age range (max/min), which should give you something to go off of.
