 <p>I also had this same issue before, So you need to create a pipeline in your settings.py to update facebook user data. This code will help you to get facebook user data; <a href="http://django-social-auth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/pipeline.html" rel="nofollow">http://django-social-auth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/pipeline.html</a></p> <pre><code>def update_user_social_data(request, *args, **kwargs): user = kwargs['user'] if not kwargs['is_new']: return user = kwargs['user'] if kwargs['backend'].__class__.__name__ == 'FacebookBackend': fbuid = kwargs['response']['id'] access_token = kwargs['response']['access_token'] url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/{0}/' \ '?fields=email,gender,name' \ '&amp;access_token={1}'.format(fbuid, access_token,) photo_url = "http://graph.facebook.com/%s/picture?type=large" \ % kwargs['response']['id'] request = urllib2.Request(url) response = urllib2.urlopen(request).read() email = json.loads(response).get('email') name = json.loads(response).get('name') gender = json.loads(response).get('gender') </code></pre>
