Graph Checkin method returns empty data

Question

I'm trying to get to work the Checkin method, but currently I only get empty data:

{  "data": [  ]}

Whether using this http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=me%2Fcheckins or using https://graph.facebook.com/me/checkins&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN I only get no data. I've checked in several locations, I has been tagged also in photos taken and uploaded using location; but no luck.

The main goal is to get RTU working with checkin events working...but, if I can not get it to work with the api explorer I can not expect to get it working with RTU...

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Do you have the user_checkins permission from the user you're trying to check? Check with a call to /me/permissions

Also, are you sure the user has recent checkins? If they're not recent you may need to increase the limit on the query or add a since parameter
