Query all friends in a network

Question

Is there any way to retrieve all friends in a particular network? For example, How can I view the list of my Facebook friends joined the network of my organization.

Answer 1

You can write an FQL query such as this:

SELECT uid, name FROM user WHERE affiliations.nid = <your network id>

The problem is that affiliations are not indexable, so you would need to have a constraint on either the username, name, or uid column(s) (which kind of defeats the purpose).

So the moral of the story is that if you know the ID of the user or are able to generate a range of users, then you can fetch this data. Otherwise, Facebook pukes on you.

Hope this helps!
