Is it possible to get the creation date/time of a Facebook profile, through the use of the Graph API ?
I need it to make an authentication mechanism, that doesn't allow Facebook users that have just been created.

Choose “Your Facebook Information” from the left sidebar. Click “View” next to “Access Your Information” at the right. Select “Personal Information” in the “Your Information” section. Look in the “Your Account Creation Date” section to find the date when your account was created.
Go to your Page. Click About on the left side of your Page. If you haven't added a start date yet, click Edit Start Date, or hover over your Page's existing start date and click Edit.
Calling the Facebook API is a (relatively) slow operation; especially if you have to call it multiple times. So, when possible, it is a good idea to get the information you need, without making API calls.
You may take a look at http://metadatascience.com/2013/03/11/inferring-facebook-account-creation-date-from-facebook-user-id/. It explains how to figure out the creation date of a Facebook account without having to call the Facebook API, just based on the user’s Facebook UID.
