Does the Facebook REST API allow you to get a friend's phone number?

Question

Hi,

Using the Facebook API, is there a way of getting a friend's phone/cell number? I'm sure I saw an app a while ago that could sync Facebook with your Mac Address Book, but I haven't found anything in the API documentation that allows you to get a friend's number. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

According to the FQL documentation, no. The User table and Standard user info table would be the storage place for that information, but no phone number column is listed. Also, Users.getInfo() and Users.getStandardInfo() do not evidently include phone number information either.

Perhaps the app you saw strictly managed email and physical mailing addresses?
