The Facebook\SignedRequest
entity represents a signed request.
Signed requests contain payloads of data that can be validated against a hash signature to ensure it is from Facebook. The Facebook\SignedRequest
entity can validate a signed request signature and decode the payload.
To instantiate a new Facebook\SignedRequest
entity, pass the Facebook\Application
entity and raw signed request to the constructor.
$fbApp = new Facebook\Application('{app-id}', '{app-secret}');
$signedRequest = new Facebook\SignedRequest($fbApp, 'raw.signed_request');
Usually Facebook\SignedRequest
entities are obtained using one of the helpers.
$fb = new Facebook\Facebook([/* . . . */]);
// Obtain a signed request entity from the cookie set by the JavaScript SDK
$helper = $fb->getJavaScriptHelper();
$signedRequest = $helper->getSignedRequest();
// Obtain a signed request entity from a canvas app
$helper = $fb->getCanvasHelper();
$signedRequest = $helper->getSignedRequest();
// Obtain a signed request entity from a page tab
$helper = $fb->getPageTabHelper();
$signedRequest = $helper->getSignedRequest();
public string|null getRawSignedRequest()
Returns the original raw encoded signed request in the form of a string.
public array|null getPayload()
Returns the signed request payload in the form of an array.
public string|null get(string $key, string|null $default)
Returns a field from the signed request payload or $default
if the value does not exist.
public string|null getUserId()
Returns the user_id
field from the signed request payload if it exists or null
if it does not exists.
public boolean hasOAuthData()
Returns true
if the payload data contains either an oauth_token
or code
field. Returns false
if neither value exists.
public string make(array $payload)
Generates a valid raw signed request as a string that contains the data from the $payload
array. The signature is signed using the app secret from the Facebook\Application
entity. This can be useful for testing purposes.
$fbApp = new Facebook\Application('{app-id}', '{app-secret}');
$signedRequest = new Facebook\SignedRequest($fbApp);
$payload = [
'algorithm' => 'HMAC-SHA256',
'issued_at' => time(),
'foo' => 'bar',
];
$rawSignedRequest = $signedRequest->make($payload);
var_dump($rawSignedRequest);
