Using the Facebook Graph API to get a list of a user's friends
Question
I need to get a hold of a user of my app's list of friends to filter the users that show up in a friend picker. I know I can call the following and get the list:
https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=<access_token>
I tried it out in the address bar with my own account and it seems to work exactly as I need it to. Problem is, I don't know how to make use of it in a js file itself. I tried calling it and getting the data out with a jquery call but it doesn't seem to return anything helpful.
$.get("https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends",
{access_token: <access_token>},
function(data){ document.write("Data Loaded: " + data);});
How should I be calling this in my js files and then actually make use of the information? Thanks.

UPDATE : As per the changes introduced in V2.0 , /me/friends will return app friends only.
The right way to do that is by using the Facebook Javascript-SDK , something like this:
function getFriends() {
FB.api('/me/friends', function(response) {
if(response.data) {
$.each(response.data,function(index,friend) {
alert(friend.name + ' has id:' + friend.id);
});
} else {
alert("Error!");
}
});
}
Please note that:
- I'm using jQuery here too
- You may need to check if the user is connected before calling this function.

It's working for me :
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>JSON Sample</title> </head> <body>
<div id="placeholder"></div>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script> $.getJSON('https://graph.facebook.com/eris.risyana/friends?limit=100&access_token=[your_access_token]', function(mydata) {
var output="<ul>";
for (var i in mydata.data) {
output+="<li>NAMA : " + mydata.data[i].name + "<br/>ID : " + mydata.data[i].id + "</li>";
}
output+="</ul>";
document.getElementById("placeholder").innerHTML=output; });
</script> </body> </html>
