Removing Facebook application through API

I have a web app that adds an application to a users profile, and requests extended permissions.

I can't seem to find if there is a way to use a script to remove the application from the users profile when they request to do so from my web app. I know they can remove the app when logged into Facebook, but I want to know if I can remove the app with an API cal开发者_开发技巧l. Thanks for any help.

You can use a HTTP DELETE request with:

From http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#permissions:

You can de-authorize an application or revoke a specific extended permissions on behalf of a user by issuing an HTTP DELETE request to PROFILE_ID/permissions with a user access_token for that app.

The accepted answer is over 3 years old and is now outdated.

From: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/permissions/#Deleting

You can revoke a specific permission by making a call to a Graph API endpoint:

DELETE /{user-id}/permissions/{permission-name}

This request must be made with a user access token or an app access token for the current app. If the request is successful, you will receive a response of true.

Note that excluding {permission-name} will revoke all permissions.

This is the javascript way (Fb js sdk api call) to remove the application from the user profile: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7741978/246435

UPDATED: As others have mentioned, Facebook now has this API. I don't think there is a way to change the accepted answer to give credit unfortunately.

From: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/permissions/#Deleting

You can revoke a specific permission by making a call to a Graph API endpoint:

DELETE /{user-id}/permissions/{permission-name}

This request must be made with a user access token or an app access token for the current app. If the request is successful, you will receive a response of true.

Note that excluding {permission-name} will revoke all permissions.

I have a PHP example if anyone is interested (with Graph v5 in 2017):

# v5 with default access token fallback
$fb = new Facebook\Facebook([/* . . . */]);

$fb->setDefaultAccessToken('{access-token}');

# These will fall back to the default access token
$response = $fb->get('/me');
$response = $fb->post('/me/feed', $data);
$response = $fb->delete('/123', $data);

So you would have to use:

$response = $fb->delete('/123', $data);

Instead of using the FacebookRequest class in v4.
